They WANT high attrition because it keeps the entire FO cadre on the junior end of an already industry lagging payscale.

Are you too blind to see that your model isn’t working? And are you too callus about your fellow pilots to see this isn’t fair to the new guys? The union is responsible to look after them too, not use them as hostages in the bargaining.
