That’s where I can see the company providing a bigger pay gap between left and right seat to attract people to upgrade. Both seats get inflation adjusted increases, but the left seat gets a bigger percentage bump. Minor improvements in reserve allow them to keep the flexibility that they want and gamble on fixing the problem by throwing money at it. Don’t necessarily think it’s the right fix, but one that they might counter with. I think that most line pilots would vote for it too since the majority are on NB fleets and aren’t on reserve.
