Well, it's a pay raise for most pilots, and a slight paycut for a minority. Some disparity is inevitable. If we did a 75 hour divisor the people currently making more would get more of a raise than the people doing min-guar, and then the money which went into that would have to be subtracted from other areas. Perhaps that would be better? If you are imagining that there was simply more value to be gotten, then that is another matter. I don't know how we would know how much money the company is willing to spend to staff 9E, however, since they are having no problem staffing it now, it seems unlikely that they would spend significantly more than they currently are.
