This whole industry needs labor reform. There has to be a way to make lateral moves without starting over. Also, there's no reason for pay disparities between captain and FO besides, "Well that's just the way it's always been." That's the only way you're going to see fair rates across the board.

But that's never going to happen so if you're at a legacy making top dollar now enjoy that ride as long as it'll last. Historically you've got about 10 years left until some crap hits the fan and you're furloughed and/or taking extreme cuts.
