True, the DOS captain rates in this TA are a touch better most years than ASA's 11/20/10 rates from CBA 2007 on the CR2 and CR7/9...one would hope that'd be the case in a late 2010 contract vs. a 2007 contract. That said, the FO rates lag ASA, to say nothing of the ATR-72 scale @ ASA for both seats being identical to the 50 seat jet.

Again, why not tie FO rates to 60% of CA rates in this TA?
