Why on earth you have to force someone to make 300K+??
I don’t have an issue with the SL on the TA and also don’t have an issue with the 95 hour cap in pay when using SL. SL shouldn’t be a means to get a quarterly bonus. The problem with getting NB Captains to sign up is more than likely pay… not enough incentive to bid it. My recommendation on the survey was to look into increasing the pay disparity between Captains and FOs rather than pushing it down to the youngest new hire in a class… the difference in hourly rate should be closer to $100/hr between a NB Captain and WB FO… not $60.
