It will be fixed though, even BB knows it will need to be fixed, he has stated it several times. Point is we are no better than another pilot because of the company we work for.
Even though BB has stated pay rates need to be fixed, I seriously doubt he will make any effort to increase pay untill those 99 (100) seaters are parked by pilots not willing to fly for those wages any longer. I'm sure he will happily drag your contract negotiations out for years if possible.
