precisely that is whats wrong because the payscales are so exponentially stupid that anyone with seniority will bend over and gladly take it up the ass because he doesnt want to start over, if the starting and ending pays werent so far apart people wouldnt be scared to jump ship and go to a better company, this would leave the original company with a gap and they would fill that by enticing pilots back by making their company more appealing, and instead you now how companies competing for you, not the other way around.

its sad that it will never change though
