Neither side will change the mind of the other. In the end it’s all
about the Benjamins. The Younger wants more sooner and the older wants more for longer. So now it’ll be tabled & studies for 3 years and then it’ll likely be raised…eventually. Ironically most of the Older Pilots that have funded this will have lost out and long since been retired. It is what it is. No sense in shooting inside the circle. Save your anger & ammo…all of us… for Management shenanigans & Sec 6 negotiations.
The younger just want to keep it as it is. The older wants to hang on it longer…

Its not the younger fault to have a better “Timing”. Yes, some of them made CA quick, but I can tell you, their seniority in the left seat sucks.
