That's not really what I meant. I was trying to say that if they didn't have reasonable salaries, a lot SOs wouldn't hang around for decades waiting for an upgrade. The vast majority are highly experienced and extremely competent. They would have no trouble finding employment elsewhere.
I believe they are worthy of what they are paid for the role they play in the company is what I was trying to get at.
As for short haul FOs deserving more...I couldn't agree more
