That would put a 4yr capped FO at around ~41.50 for 2015 and ~41.90 for 2016.
Our old 7 year rate was 42.
This, of course, doesn't help us 10 years from now when our money is worth significantly less. Just getting the facts out there. A turd painted like a flower is still a turd etc, etc.
I always wondered why the company even bothered doing this. All they did was move the top out FO pay from year 7 to year 4 and called it a cap. Obviously it's better for FOs. Now captain caps are different.
