Its easy to check, junior officer 33 years ago versus top pay scale in an airline. Some not me play the system when the airline is short of crews and increase their pay by 50% and many gain tax breaks by living out of the U.K.
The point I’m making bearing in mind the thread is about the state of the industry and someone compared it to FW is that
there are pros and cons in both markets but it’s easy to say FW is boring and RW is exciting in your early 20s but the picture may look v different in your mid 50s.
I cant however imagine coming out of L3 with a frozen ATPL joining EZY and spending 40 years there. Horses for courses.
