Basically, pay for first officers should be what we concentrate on. Captains are doing just fine.
Captains are doing 'just fine' at the expense of first officers. Pilots run the executive counsels of local unions. These pilots decide the wages for the entire pilot group. They've basically said that Captains will make the most money at the expense of FO's. Should we flatten pay scales so FO's can make more and Captains make less?
