If my crystal ball is working I would anticipate a pay scale overhaul making the "temporary" LOA rates permanent with a simultaneous adjustment to the CA pay rates. Increasing the CA rates would provide an incentive to upgrade and solve the CA manning issue. If I'm not mistaken all of the WOs have the same deal with the same terms... so, all 3 have the same issue.
