By the time you realistically flow (8 years), difference in CA pay is 83/hr vs 93/hr. Peanuts.
And if you add the bonus to the FO rates, the difference isn't that big.
Republic has great work rules, rigs etc. That's where the difference is.
Eh, I get what you mean about the max captain rates not being relevant. But when you look at the junior captain rates... THAT'S a REAL issue. Between the advanced step FOs are paid here and the FO bonuses that are lost with upgrade, you're looking at pay cut when you upgrade here (assuming you're an FO that reads the contract and maximizes pay).
There's a reason this company has to force people to upgrade here.
