No wrong.. the 7500 was because we have a lot of senior captains that deserve the full 20k. They have carried this airline on their backs. The 7500 for caps was the only way the LOA would be signed and many of us still think it's unacceptable. Unfortunately we have a lot of new young people that don't think about the total pilot group.
