I dont particularly like that system, but I dont work there so I dont care. It will be a rude awakening when that person upgrades though.........
The system is like that because the payrate is the same for all F/O's so there is essentially no junior or senior A/C for F/O's. None of the senior F/O's want the right seat of the -900. And with all the growth, they will be able to hold captain on something. I think I made it into the 2nd -900 F/O class so by the time we get all 36, I think I will be sitting pretty as far as QOL...thats my hope anyway.
