The only fly in the ointment is the guys stuck on the NB aircraft while we hire, month after month into every WB aircraft on the property. Those NB FOs cannot exercise their seniority and benefit from these same pay rates new hires are getting simply by making it to their one year anniversary. Apparently this situation is completely acceptable since the silence from ALPA is deafening.
