And I’m much less interested in appealing to junior upgrades. The fact that we’re trying to get 1-2 year FOs to upgrade underscores the problem.
Again, the rates are industry standard but they’re not sacrosanct. We could change them if we wanted to, & if the market gives us an opportunity why wouldn’t we? (Heaven forbid we lead on something Delta doesn’t do first.) Unfortunately I don’t see any way you’d get majority support for it here which is too bad because I think we’re missing an opportunity.
