Funny you said that.. i happened to talk with a pdt manager the other day.. he eluded to the same thing... and said it's being worked on...

makes sense. Our 170 175 rates in our cba are much less than republics. Further the average years of service pdt has is rapidly decreasing. Heck we have many year 1 and 2 year captains now. Effectively lowering our overall cost structure. With a length of service of 5 to 7 years many pilots will never see top pay.
