Numero Crunchero: I have no idea if or when an integration will occur. But as of 1/4/08 KA pilots earn the same as CX pilots. If rumours of their improvements to education and LEP housing are true, then KA pilots will earn/cost more than CX pilots.
What ? Cost more than A Scale to 65 ?
But seriously. When you consider all the factors and the liklihood of overtime on a short haul line. I am told there is still disparity ( acknowledged by CX management ) in favour of CX pilots. The gap has closed granted.
This without considering I have a B Scale A330 Captain's package. As do the bulk of my colleagues. Whereas you NC, have an A scale A330 package- and what % of your colleagues do ?
