Soooooo...
sounds like you have chosen seniority over compensation.
it’s nice to have those options.
I agree that we probably do better overall because of our ratio of NB/WB aircraft. But I think that even if one upgrades here at the earliest possibility, that NB captain rate still lags the legacies. All pay rates lag way behind those at the legacies, with all three of them slated to get increases in this next round of negotiations before we even get to openers.
Considering the type of flying we do, our rates should always be higher than legacies. I think they will be in this next round since we will have to compete with the legacies for pilots.
