We all know 18 year FOs who are declining short haul commands by not bidding for them (I was one of them), and at that paypoint it is a decent payrise and they would be senior. (They are also taking a pay freeze until they do actually accept a command). It is not really about the money or the seniority. If you are a 4 year short haul FO declining a LHS, you are simply looking towards long haul in a year’s time, rather than freezing yourself on short haul for another 5 years. What is wrong with that? I have not heard of any short haul P1 supply issue, if that is what you are suggesting?
