It just seems like there is a problem when pay and or lifestyle on SH is so unappealing that people choose to delay or avoid command.
How do you the draw the conclusion that they are the reasons why people do not want the earliest possible short haul command? They are probably some people’s reasons, but there are a whole host of reasons why people make their choices. People have got 30 year plus careers, maybe they want to experience a bit of career variety? Why do you think something is wrong just because not everyone wants to make the same career choices as you? We are all different and we all have our own desires and aspirations. Why would you want to introduce any kind of additional stick to cajole people down one particular pathway? Surely the beauty of BA is that people are free to make these choices?
