Some good points. IMO, it'll be a long time before we get any kind of pay/benefit increase under our current system. You oughta hear what's going on in the -190 ranks. Junior LCA holding lucrative lines with people senior to them on reserve with no pay protection (75 hrs only) for the senior people. I understand the logistics but the reservists should be pay protected at the junior folks' line value (more than 75 hours). Values? Oh, that's right, they bid for that position. GMAFB! Let's Keep picking up the RSAs and RSLs and maybe we'll get another shiny new pen!
