Can I ask a fundamental question ?
Why do pilots blindly assume longevity is a valid basis for pay?
After IOE we are all doing the same job.
The 18 yr scale was brought in by Lorenzo and no one ever thinks to challenge it. If it did not exist then the hold companies have on pilots would be gone
If I could go to another carrier and not have to wait 18 yrs to top out I am more likely to do it.
Pilots do not think outside the box and I don't mean the one mfd by CAE or Flight Safety
