That makes 6 years as an SO and the CX bond for cadets is 7 years. Correct me if I'm wrong but that means 6 years on rubbish pay and useless hours, then probably 5 more years to gain some significant flying hours (considering the amount of two stripers I've seen acting as Relief pilot and not actually performing takeoff and landings), meaning that it would be upwards of 11 years before a young joiner can have some prospects of jumping ship and aiming for a better life elsewhere on the bottom of the seniority list of another airline? The maths just don't add up... when you fly A319s with some European LCCs you'd be sitting comfortably in the Left seat by then.
