One hour drive from LHR puts you somewhere a bit more liveable than Yuen Long.
Hence, my point! Don’t forget that a CX widebody command pays captain 1 salary, which is barely more than an FO at the top of the pay scale makes. No big jump like at real airlines. CX basically pays narrow body pay for widebody command until at least captain year 8 or so. Of course, current CX upgrades are running at 11 years and climbing rapidly. Will be 13-14 years for 2008 hires.
