But it’s actually not. I mean you really think CA legacy rates (All types) are going to stay in the mid $200s ($300s for WBs) with one less pilot? Hell no. CA rates across the board are going to increase because of this (IF it ever happens). I can see a ton of people straight up retiring if this BS gets implemented and they are already late in their career (or even midway through and can afford it).
Say CA rates increase $80-100 (they absolutely are going to be increased) plus the cost of all the implementation for this crap. There’s no way your actually seeing an ROI for a very long time.
