This is funny anyway. Nobody on here that actually works at the regionals agree's this is a bad thing..

One of the WORST things about this job is no transfer of experience for pay. This is a step in the right direction. How is a new hire CFI harmed by someone coming in beneath him with 4 years 121 experience at a higher rate? The guy is STILL junior to him in all aspects.. he just gets paid a little more. (as he should, due to experience). You hire an engineer fresh out of college at 60K/yr to start, then hire another guy 2 weeks later with 10yrs experience and pay him 100K/start. This is how it works everywhere else, and there is nothing unfair about it.

Raise the rates for everyone? Good luck getting Parker and Friends to do that right now.. they will just keep transferring things around and play the growth for upgrade recycle game some more before ever raising rates, even still if they did raise it, years of experience pay should STILL always transfer (at least somewhat) like pretty much every other specialized job out there in the world. So I would STILL support it. You should be compensated for time invested learning and working in your trade. Why should people have to start at year one pay all over again just due to the crappy nature of this industry if there is a better way?

AA still hasn't even approved it. It's just an idea at the MEC level and we don't even know the full details. Knowing this company and their leadership, it will likely never happen anyway.
