We could have had:
A and B: 200 B-scale capt. on 100% the money
C: 100 B-scale F/O
The ones taking a freighter command have effectively dragged the conditions down for the rest of the F/O's senior to them.
If C's don't take freighter command, there always are D's with +10k hours experience coming to join as DEC. How did ASL start ?
