Obviously you were not on property at the time otherwise you wouldn't have made such a simplified statement.
Your second paragraph, as it happens, is also disingenuous. All the guys hired since 2013 who are now captains are going to make more money in the long run than any FO hired after 2005. For me I was an FO almost 9 years. I would happily trade that, even with our current, appalling, and way out of date contract created after the Great Depression, Part II.
So stop ****ing on the past, it's a waste of time and doesn't serve any purpose. Right now we need to focus on getting paid what we deserve in 2017 and prepare for the inevitable strike.
The duration of it was/is WAY too long. I completely agree with denpilot. And I was on property at the time.
