Sorry I just noticed your post.
You misread my comment regarding the F/O (Is my writing that bad?). The F/O I was referring to failed a pax Command, not a Freighter Command!
I said the following:
Some perspective: I spoke to a young Captain the other day who mentioned he had recently flown with a first officer who had failed his command course. The first officer flippantly pointed out that his command course failure was no big deal since he was still earning more money as a first officer, than he was as the young Captain! How’s that for chutzpah? I mean really….this made my blood boil!
My point was that the co-pilot was earning more than the Captain was. You know the guy in charge of the ship!
Are you saying that you'd be OK with an S/O on your crew being paid more than you (that's assuming you're an F/O)?
