Hypothetical pay scale here.
FO
Year1 = 24/hr
Year2 = 28/hr
Year3 = 33/hr
Capt
Year4 = 60/hr
Year5 = 67/hr
Year6 = 75/hr
Would the pilots agree to the following flatter scale?
FO
Year1 = 34/hr
Year2 = 38/hr
Year3 = 43/hr
Capt
Year4 = 50/hr
Year5 = 57/hr
Year6 = 65/hr
Discuss.
Why subsidize FO pay by lowering Capt pay. That is not the answer. That is nothing more than Obama style liberalism in an attempt to spread the wealth. If you don't like the FO pay then don't show up for the job.
