However the biggest $ change came from closing the spread on captains pay from 30% to around 17% These changes mostly effect those in longevity years of 2-7. This would only help those folks hired since the current contract was ratified. For the record I lobbied for this change.

This was mostly a bottom up fix, little was done in the mid to top end except for a inflation adjustment. The point I think some guys with more longevity are trying make is that, in a attempt to fix a thorny issue that we all had dealt with in the past, we forgot about years 8-35 as FO or CA. Where of course most of us will spend the majority of our careers.

Did I make any sense?
