Speaking of that I have flown with a few senior FO's lately that aren't upgrading because junior CA QOL sucks and they know it, they don't work as much in the right seat, have better QOL and pick up 200% OT to make up some of the difference in pay. They plan to stay senior right seat and flow without ever upgrading.
To me that would be crazy because then you would be capped at 4 year pay, right? I think he should ride it out, but at the same time don't want to see him declare bankruptcy and lose his family over this. Also, would the retention kick in?
