I really agree with you. I sure hope there is some focus on decent improvements to FO pay and QoL improvements. For FO pay, I am hoping to see it moved up to at least $60 an hour for Year 1. Of course I’d like more, but I am “managing my expectations”. Also hope to see at least one additional day off each month and several other QoL improvements as well.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see a laundry list of things, but these are just a few aspects I hope to see.
