Cpdude, I invite you to drop by recruitment or ask someone who works for Emirates or a Middle Eastern , Asian , New Zealand, Australian, Canadian, African or any American Airline. Why do you think we have the Senior Pilots working on lesser conditions. You will be working on those conditions beyond 55 to age 65.
Resisting is Futile and when we lose, we win. Don’t join the AOA it is pointless, save your money. You will need it for your retirement at age 65. We still receive a percentage from Fidelity on your retirement fund, so it is called.
The S/O that are Grade A will be JFO's before the DEFO's arrive, so no bypass pay will be paid.
The Management.
