Part of the process for a change where our retirement is not based on just reaching a max cap sometime, but instead is based on each persons individual portion annually. Each pilot will get a pancake based on their percentage of the total earnings. So maximizing our pay becomes paramount. If you are a school house IP and earn $300 then you get twice as many pancakes as an FO making $150. A widebody CA flying draft and makeup if they make $450 then they get three time the pancakes. So before any implementation we must have a complete bump and flush bid to allow for all FOs that want to bid Capt to bump those junior to them that are holding Capt. Figure it will take at least two years to completely retrain everyone on their new seats.

Also there would need to be at least two years to allow those that could achieve the current max cap to push it up and hit the cap. Really that should be five years to allow people to hit the cap. There are a lot of guys with hundreds and even thousands of MU hours that certainly can use those hours to push up the high 5. With all the whoring out for flying, I'd say all bets are off for any additional hiring. Another unexpected consequence.
