My Brother in Christ,
Please don't subscribe to the "squeezing the baloon" theory where if one part of pilot group gets something so another part of the pilot group has to take less.
Please endorse the "INFLATING the baloon theory" where EVERYONE gets more at the expense of the company. They have billions to give to shareholders so they can afford it for the people actually earning the revenue
If you are squeezing the baloon guy then yes it seems that the captains are crying foul. I assumed there were more inflating the baloon guys who want everyone to get more...espcially for the FO's who are younger and will have way less time at years 2-6 than years 6-40. Perhaps I misjudged and there are more squeeze the baloon guys.
INFLATE THE BALOON!!!
