If the salary is going to be above industry average (UK pay scales this is), then why not include as much it in the advert? Lets face it, easyJet are quite blatant about their joining bonus. Money talks, night freight sucks.
I think that the pay will be dependant on the amount of interest in the positions. F/Os will not be a problem, but maybe a few expatriate skippers from RBA and the like might wanna return home.Its amazing who turns up out of the woodwork when direct commands are involved.
What chances for experienced F/Os (ie 5000+ jet) getting direct commands?
