Thus an incentive to move on to mainline is created. But what if you would rather not do that (for the same reasons some of the English choose not to go to mainline)?. Do we want the situation where an English colleague can stay on the Fokker Jet and still see a yearly rise in salary whereas the Dutch colleague needs to divert to mainline to see a yearly rise?
The KLCuk pilots have a maximum cap on their Jet salaries as well, it would seem KLM/KLC pilots reach their cap slightly ahead of the KLCuk pilots whom will have to be in the company for about 15 years (or more) to reach it.
Your facts are therefore incorrect....
