The senior versus junior argument is equally ludricrous. Everybody wants to be senior. It is just the way our antiquated system works.

Any LOA or TA proposal that includes a cap would be an automatic no from me. I will not tell someone else how much they must earn in the interest of some imagined fairness between junior and senior employees.
Are you familiar with the old Delta green sheet system? They had a cap...But, no limit to how much you could earn each month. It could be tweaked to work here, as well.
