How so? It went from 60 to 65 immediately instead of being phased in over 5 years. It hit the pause button on many careers of guys stuck in the right seat of an RJ.
I understand why senior guys wanted it. I would too in their position. Many of them got screwed by their employers. But I hope they understand that they also damaged the incomes of thousands of regional guys.
