I'm senior as a CA in my base but I would bid long call reserve and sit home before taking a hard line. That would mean more flying for the junior folks, and a higher pay scale pilot sitting out flying to be done by a lower pay scale pilot. Win-win for both company and pilots. But they are too stupid and short sighted.
As for the stagnation I wouldn't stay here if I were in the bottom 50%. I'm hearing CAs that have been here 5 years or more putting their apps out. Most of the junior FOs already have. Management better wake up or they won't have any pilots in a few years. Unless thats their plan.
Hiring will never be a problem here or any other major such as Frontier. Staying here, that's a completely different story. People will always come, but likely will not stay.
