I think I've got this thing now. If you're with a Co. for, say, 20 years, you have a certain standing within that Co. - O.K. Now, if you decide to jump ship to another outfit you go back to the bottom of the ladder ?? you do'nt slot in at an equivalent level as with previous Co. ?? irrespective of experience, hours on type etc. ?? seems very backward to me(maybe I'm thick) Can't understand how a bunch of well educated and intelligent peole allow themselves to be 'locked in' like this, - if I've got it right that is.
Glad I stopped @ PPL, at least I'm enjoying my flying!! (awaiting the backlash..)
