Perhaps he is referring to pay at his longevity compared to his peers. He might be a 7 year NK Captain at $220 an hour; while Captain peers at equal longevity are $264-273 per hour.

Like you said, the slope does flatten at the top longevities bringing us closer to our peers at year 12.

FO pay is even further behind most of the upper tier airlines. I guess that’s why we are “ low tier”.

Everyone make sure to take the negotiating survey before June 28.
