Hands up all those who have doubled their pay in the last 20 years, ie. 1989 to 2009.
Yep, thought so, just remoak and a couple of cessna drivers.
Well you clearly know nothing about startups... so let me help you.
1. Join new airline as experienced F/O.
2. Airline expands and needs more captains.
3. Senior F/Os all get commands.
4. Captains pay plus 10 years of increments = double what you started on (more or less).
For both Easyjet and Ryanair, experienced F/Os regularly get early commands, during some periods after only 6-9 months. The same will happen her if J* expand - which is why joining early is a smart move.
