Spending 95% of your time at QF as a Captain makes a huge financial difference. Not to mention the other perks that come with a command. I’m not sure you would be that keen to “do your time” in the RHS in Australia if you have been flying around the US or the world for the past 10 years already.
What he said. A lot of the current crop of “junior” pilots are older, quite experienced and have done the job of captain before. We don’t particularly want to sit back and do our time.
