Afaik in the U.K., only Virgin and BA are legacy seniority airlines; why isn’t your hypothesis playing out between wizz Ryan and easy?
In some cases it has as mentioned but crux of it is no one at BA LH FO 10+ years would leave. At RYR and EZY Captains may leave or may not depending on age, I reckon a lot don’t because LHS to RHS is hard. There is a bit of mentality that when you are on £100k you are being paid well. That’s not just aviation but the psychology has been proven that it’s a figure a lot would like and to take it away is quite tough.
RYR do pay poor yes but they have jumped on the pay and offer a chance to go FO SFI that pays, surprise surprise £104k a year.
