Management isn't going to pay a cent more without necessitating to do so.
that's kind of already happening at mq. Coupled with people not wanting to sit reserve in NYC people are bypassing.
I'm just generally unimpressed with the hard on all some companies tend to have for new hire fos. Guys, don't get me wrong... I'm stoked as a year one fo you are making as much as I am as a year three captain. What makes me mad is there is nothing going on to keep those of us on property here. The sooner they realize we need love too the better.
