What a complicated pay scheme QF seem to have which stifles Pilots movement and recruitment.
My airline pays by Company Seniority not by type.
ie A 2 year seniority F/O on an A 320 gets the same basic as a 2 year A380 F/O. A 20 year A320 Capt the same as a 20 year
787/744/777 etc. (We don’t do the S/O partially trained Cruise Pilot thing, all joiners on all fleets fully trained as P2 for 2 pilot Ops)
Flying pay and allowances tend to favour the LH fleets but not by much.
This scheme means guys who want the SH European lifestyle don’t have to go LH just for the money, and obviating the need for double conversions to replace him.
Also saves a bunch on Type Ratings and conversion courses for the Company as you can recruit direct onto the Fleets with the pilot requirements. Pilots recruited direct onto wide body types obviously need previous jet or large turbo prop experience, ex Military or previous airline.
Saves all the hassle and bickering on who goes where, with for instance B744 fleet retirement, which seems to happen in QF?
