This can't be solved by only looking at new FOs or senior Captains. Why? I'm a new FO now but won't be forever.
I'm looking at a long term view but hoping the short term isn't filled with pain to get there. I want to know there is fair value throughout my career. I'm happy to pay my dues but I'm also trying to have a decent life along the way. But I'm new so what do I know?
Side note, you can pnly get so much information before coming on property. Subtle details are hard to catch until you're in the mix. I understand why so many of my predecessors left and why forrum chatter says go somewhere else.
