I agree. Why does Skywest (or any regional) have pay rates beyond year 12 then? Take all the excesses that go to the guys with over 12 years and concentrate in in the first 10 years, especially year 1 and the EMB guys. If the legacy airlines, where you certainly will spend more than 12 years, only have rates up to 12, then why does any airline that is, for the most part, not a career airline, have 20 year rates?
