I realise that as an SO with Cathay you are a cruise pilot on the pax side and as an FO you fly the freighters. However which is the better option...an SO for about 2 years then mainstream FO or straight into the freighter fleet as an FO and possibly having to remain in the Cathay freight fleet. What are the long term differences, benifits and pay scales between the two.
My experience so far is with passenger airlines and I am not very familiar with freighter operations.
Is promotion to FO on the pax fleet based purely on seniority or is it based on experience?
Thanks for any information...:)
