ULR,
Whats the point of comparing a 1st year FO in EK with a 1st year SO in CX, some of our SO won't have the experience to apply for EK anyway.
Why don't you compare a FO with a FO and a Captain with a Captain. All of your calculations are assuming 10 years to command with CX, take the SO nonsense out of you figures that brings them a LITTLE closer to each other, 5 years as a FO then a Captain.
Anyway, can't be bothered with this any more, so if EK are such great payers, when are you leaving???????
