Not complaining at all but it restricts how much we can push through.

We are hiring more line check airmen but that's because we have more captains (more line checks) and we plan on increasing OE to 30-35 hours instead of the minimum of 25 hours.
Why are we increasing OE hours? Is this another chance to steal money from those in OE? Upgrades should be paid captain pay the day they start class. FOs should never see training pay.
