I think the Flat Rate Benefit (FRB) is a great deal for those junior. A guy can stay a F/O all his career upgrading too fly only one trip as a Captain and get the same FRB as someone who was a captain for 30 years.
The FAE retirement plan produces a smaller retirement paycheck for the same crew member.
