<<Unfortunately, the airline I work for does not seem to hold experienced F/Os who have been in the company for long time in particularly high regard and are not too interested in giving them the third stripe>>

Sorry - don't understand what you are saying here?
1. Does your company ever "give them " 3 stripes? Or do co-pilots always have 2?
2. If it does, surely the requirements are laid down... Maybe you could post them here.
3. Are you really just after a "stripe"?? Or the money to go with it?

We had a situation in "Big Airways" where a number of DEPs felt they should have 3 stripes to "acknowledge their experience", without doing the normal 4 years. The company were rumoured to be going along with it - of course for no change in pay. Nothing has come of it, however, to date...

Maybe if you could detail exactly what you are trying to achieve, if might help posters here? If all you are after is the 3rd stripe and the word "Senior" in quicker time then I am frankly amazed...
