Thanks for posting that. Despite what people say, it's nice to see additional Captain positions. As a junior FO, those are all higher paying than me - great.
For a new hire - even better. Means more hiring probably.
For a 777 FO - less exciting because unless he wants positions more on the right side of the chart. In fact, the 717 and M88 Captain positions might be the same pay, not higher because the FOs might be able to get GS as a Senior FO.
People here are trying to say that because there haven't been a Captain position on aircraft X in base Y there hasn't been growth. Well - maybe not for THEM but for many others there has been.
But, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's nice for all FOs to have the opportunity of 717A if they want it.
