There were 402 pilots earning over 3m last year according to the 2024 annual report - there were maybe 230-270 trainers and management (?), so at least 100 line pilots taking over the magic 3m mark among that ‘select few’.

So the answer to OPs question is yes, but I agree it would take years as Commands will slow and it’s slow to get up the pay scales. And VforV will still be on here telling us he earns 3 times more than any CX pilot
thanks for all information guys !

When I look at the images with pay for 2019 and 2024 overall isn’t it still quite similar overall ?
