A wind up or just a product of the fact that it takes around 30 years to long haul command? Most qantas pilots I know make bids tactically because the pay scales and promotions do not represent a linear pay rise. The days of taking the first upgrade available ended over a decade ago. Why? Because under normal circumstances a senior 4 engined S/O would earn far more money for significantly fewer duty hours than their colleagues of similar seniority who took FO positions in short haul
