What I hated was that the poor souls on the Bravo get the lowest pay and had to work in the most extreme conditions. No APU, no flight attendant, no hot food and no flushing toilet.

If you were lucky, you joined straight onto the Hawker and got paid €6K more a year and you didn't have to sit in a cold dark plane at the end of a days flying in the winter. I have heard that after 3 years as a captain on a Bravo you may get a Hawker. At this time you have €18K less in pay and I guess the Hawker pilot has upgraded to a 2000 or a 900. JUST NOT FAIR!

Maybe if they equalised the pay that may reduce some of the bad feeling and reduce the scrabbling to get off the Bravo. Maybe some people might like to stay on the Bravo??? You never know.

And, before anyone comments on the quality of the Bravo pilots, they come from major airlines and have long and short haul experience. So not just the inxeperienced end up sweating in the summer and freezing in the winter.

Life isn't fair, but because of lack of equality people are leaving in scores.
