Well, a year 3 FO at AA easily makes what year 20 CA at WO unless you pick up all the OT you can find and are a LCA. 213/hr is not bad for a regional CA but it's still way below legacy rates, especially with their work rules and retirement (or lack of to be more accurate).
It's a good deal for their LCAs and lifers but doubt it really curbs attrition. LCCs etc still pay better.
