Plenty of FO's in the past had the ability to fly C\O with layovers at home and wound up with similar income levels.
Just my opinion that this is the new norm, and that I shouldn't get a 40% improvement to my pension while someone with the same takehome (or greater) only gets a 10% improvement unless they Upgrade.
There's not a Capt rate to the B plan, don't think there should be one for our A plan
