Many of those who join the poly, join at PAX6 and PAX5. After taking a paycut to join the Poly, many waited for years before their pay begin to come closer to what they used to draw. Some resigned before it happens.

Who are the PAX4s? Many of them are people who have been in the system for years, many have hit their bar or ceiling and were cruising along while the PAX6 and PAX5 were working hard to move up.

So when you now say that PAX6 gets a maximum of just 4%, while the cruisers will see their pay increase by up to 10%, perhaps you are just telling them to "stop trying".
