Additionally, as others have already said, plenty of sub-80% pilots are getting 23M7 payments. You’re throwing that assumption out there without actually looking at the data in many categories.
This is 100% management’s problem at this point. They’ll never escape the cost of their problem, nor should we let them. Yes, it likely makes sense to shift the value elsewhere in the contact. But if management tries to get out of their problem at a discount, then status quo is perfectly fine.
I’m looking at the 320. Our largest fleet. There’s 140+ OOBWS in over all the bases fishing for that 23M7 payment.
Generally there’s 1 GS for every 8-10 IAs.
And yes, I agree there is in fact really junior people getting 23M7 but the vast majority are going to page 1 and 2 of wide reports. Junior folk are making way much more because of IAs then 23M7 fishing. Of course that fishing in turn helps them get IAs because the whole coverage ladder is toast.
Yes, this is a management problem to fix and I’ve said over and over again it’s for Section 6. I hope we get massive gains for fixing the problem.
