Surely getting a command in somewhere around 3 years....and getting it on merit and ability instead of the "at Cathay we don't spoon feed, ie train, and you earn your Cathay Command blah blah....." as opposed to 10 years would make up for any shortfall in equivalent payscales? If you were close to, or already had, a command at Cathay then apart from slightly cleaner air and an exciting drive to work there wouldn't be much point leaving. But if you were near the bottom with relatively high previous experience, with close to ten years to an attempt at a Cathay command and presently barely QLd on hospital corners, surely it would be worth the jump?
And could the relationship between the management and its workforce really be any worse than it is here?
It is certainly worth some consideration.
Anyway, where did I leave those white sheets.....the blue ones never fit....
