Shaka,
If retention of FOs is important in this discussion, then TRSS is important.
There are 180 SFOs earning £35k, who can all get much better jobs and earn a lot more. They are rich pickings for other carriers, since most will be able to write on their CVs:
- 1500 - 2500 hours medium jet
- good training
- extremely current
- 737 300-900
- A318 - A321
Redline,
I now have the Airbus on my licence, I'll wait for this round of pay talks, and if I can then do better elsewhere then I will.
