Please explain

Can somebody please explain why any sane SO or FO (who is not close to or in their 50's) would voluntarily sign away potentially 5 plus years of BPP for the dubious benifits of COS 08 when any 55+ retirement issue (if indeed that is of concern to the individual in the first place) is on average 15 to 25 years away and in that time RA65+ will more than likely have become law?

Please?

I must be missing something. If not, I suspect the company will very soon be paying a couple of hundred plus drivers a higher pay grade than their worn rank for years to come.

The company will always bet on stupidity because it has always paid off in the past.

And while you're at it...

Where did the 14 year figure come from as a place to start "ghosting" command pay? This would be at least 4 years more than the average time to command over the last 30 years.........

Exactly! A very concise and accurate synopsis of the game in play...
