It's a seniority-driven system. As mentioned before it's all about getting a spot on that list as quickly as possible. While it doesn't look like a big difference between getting hired at 25 versus 30, the way you should look at it is that it's 5 more years you'll get at the 12th yr CA pay before your retirement. And what's normal progression within the profession? Is there any such thing? The legacies recently have hired pilots ranging in age from mid 20s to 60. Anyway in the US there aren't many (any?) PTF operations existing. Gulfstream was probably the biggest one and it's gone.Originally Posted by captjns
No... PTF operations and sponsor pander to one thing only... Providing a means to those who want to bypas the normal progression within the profession.
