So its completely fair & reasonable for the over 45 year old & over 55 year old brigade to remain SOs decade in / decade out
On the year 12 payscale
& effectively block any new joiners from ever getting an SO seat on the A380
1. They don’t owe new joiners a 380 seat.
2. By staying as SOs, they’re leaving FO and command slots open for people who would otherwise have to wait longer for them.
Good for everyone, except a new joiner who feels entitled to a 380 SO spot.
