Basically, pay for first officers should be what we concentrate on. Captains are doing just fine.
Captains don't complain because they've all been there at 1st year pay. If you start at the bottom of the barrel anything is an improvement. They are CONTENT and rightfully so. Once you've eaten a crap sandwich and survived why rock the boat??? And most FO's are trying to move on to bigger and better like the brochure promised... barely any motivation there too.
