And Dropt....
I just read that Genex has happily removed himself to lessen the ulcer risk to the rest of us so we may never know what he'd say.
But for me.....if I was a young pilot, I'd reckon I would balance promotion rates, choice of bases and salary as a package, wouldn't you? I can't quite see what's the point of having a great pay rate as a Captain if you're geriatric by the time you get there. But if that suits your lifstyle and level of ambition then its fine.
Just a thought
