Wow! This is the dumbest, most ignorant post ever.
Why wait until 10 years to start cutting pay? Why not five? Heck, why not pay FOs 65K for putting up with these CAs? And to insure good turn over, let's CUT CA pay to 40k. Heck, they are only going to be there until they get the magic 1000 TPIC, and the pay cut will be good incentive for them to get off their butts and move out of
my,.. err, umm, and move on to a mainline.
One thing posts like this (move on and get out of my way) fails to consider is that every regional lifer frees up another mainline slot for you poor folks. Just imagine, if all the lifers at all the regionals decided to go to a mainline, you get-out-of-my-wayers would still be stuck at a regional for several more years. And then YOU would get to hear idiots tell you regionals were never meant to be a career.
