I just don’t believe it’s a money issue, yes I want delta rates and then some but I think to truest solve captain staffing you need better qol options. Look at for instance delta reserve rules, they can’t show before 4pm day one and can’t finish after 6pm on last day (or something
like that) . Give people more control of their schedule. Southwest reserves are guaranteed 15 days off. Money isn’t motivating people that would have the biggest bump (year 2 FOs).
