Because that's exactly what gets people in to trouble in the first place. Don't come here anticipating the 2 year upgrade because that can change in a heartbeat. Come here because we probably have the highest FO pay in the industry. Per the contract, it needs to be 60% of captain pay (witht he exception of first year), hence the reason we have FO's at almost $50 /hour. I still think the FO pay needs to come up drastically, I'd say 2nd year pay of $40.xx whatever it is, needs to be the new industry norm first year.
