Now I can almost understand a junior with a couple of hundred hours in a B-76 jumping into a situation such as this. Almost! But can anyone shed some light on what drives a person in the above quoted catagory, to effectively halt their career for a permanent seat in the back of a 777, on what has to be the most appalling wages and conditions of long haul anywhere!?
I certainly have no problem with the concept of working your way up, but from what I've seen of the VA contract, unless you have at least 2,000 hours of "heavy" Jet time, you aint' going nowhere! As well, you don't even have the prospect of incremental pay rises.
Just doesn't make sense to me?
