"the only thing stupid is to think that we (the juniors) don't get it."
"you say the samy will apply to us when we reach the age..... we will NEVER be affected the same way.... because we will not have seen the advancement up to the senior positions and then allowed to stay extra. There is only one group that would reap a windfall gain, and I suspect that you belong to that group."
If you want to start the advancement, career expectation / earnings argument again please include that EVERY junior pilot you refer to started their career at AC as either direct entry First Officers and some lucky people were direct entry Captains
On the other hand, practically EVERY pilot retiring in the last while and probably the next 5 years or so was forced to spend between 5 - 12 years as a Second Officer.
As you you aptly pointed out " it is about career earnings, full stop"
