Many pilots choose to stay as first officers and be senior. Taking that away from them is unacceptable.
Every Captain with less than 12 years saves the company money, I don't think they are against that!
About what, 80% of our pilots have already topped out the 12yr. pay scale today?
Making a 12 yr. (+) F/O upgrade to Capt. won't save them any money, vs. a 'new hire 717 Captain', making new hire rates.
