I have done the opposite. The retirement calculation is essentially the same for everyone right now. 1% unless you have already turned 60 or will by the end of next year.

Unless there is a new flat dollar amount in the new contract, the A plan retirement will be an equal percentage. The difference is in your FAE. Obviously captains make more so theirs will be higher.
I will not reward the 383 bypassing FOs with the same retirement. They are actively making a choice. QOL over money.
I will entertain the idea for FOs who will retire without the ability to upgrade/bypass.
