The "goal" is precisely what caused the "$17k/yr RJ job...ALPA created very high pay at the top which was subsidized by low entry pay. In hindsight, the corporate pilot pay model works better...Lower top end pay, and higher entry pay.
What people don't realize is that making more pay in the beginning would lead to more money overall due to the magic of retirement funds. It is better to make more in the beginning, and save more over the course of your whole career.
Oh well. It will be okay since ALPA is in charge!
