It doesn't quite tell the whole story. I'm not defending the payscale. I know its pathetic.
Yep, it is by choice... so that is *her choice*.. but she says if she went to capt slot, she would hold a garbage schedule.
So yes, you are definitely correct that it is her choice... and you are still correct that the payscale is still pathetic!
