And they should either increase the flow or get rid of the stupid "active CA" metric. No bonuses needed. However you and I both know that AAG isn't going to just increase pay. That will be the absolute last thing they will do. PSA, EVY, and PDT will all be offering bonuses and our NCs likely won't fight it.
