so do you think more than half the pilots only getting min guarantee with no chance at making more money a pay reduction too?

pay rates are still the exact same, what changes is position. Per the cares act they have paid captains “x” and FOs “y” nothing in the cares act says people have to keep current position. They just have to stay on the payroll as a pilot which could be either x or y
