If you're unhappy about this, quit the airline business today! If and when you get to your dream job, you're going to learn that the senior bubbas have it made.
Save yourself from a few decades of unhappiness. Quit now. Take the cubicle job.
The better answer should be, NO, we shouldn't flatten the pay scales. We should raise the pay for our regional partners.
