Etop, I am pleased for you, but if I applied to BA now I would spend my best years slogging around europe in the right hand seat, however apply to Etihad and I would keep my command and take a payrise! My point is that It's not just the MAS guys who would gain from joining Etihad.
Dropp, your pay sounds fantastic! Point taken regarding salary comparisons. I still believe that joining Etihad would be a better move for me rather than EK as I would keep my command, Happy flying, Pudd
