If a doctor decides to change the hospital, clinic, for the other (better pay) he is not going to start at the new post as a nurse… Manager changing the Company is still manager not a clerk… In any other profession, trade, the status is preserved and if one changes the job he starts at the same or usually better monetary level,
except in aviation… With exception of those carriers at the Far East the pilot (Captain and/or F/O) changing the airline in US, Canada, Europe, Australia…starts at junior F/O pay level (?), regardless of the years of experience, (same) type of the aircraft and professional qualities. No wonder no one leaves and result is… Companies are cutting the benefits knowing that the Captains, senior F/Os will not leave as long as the present package is better than the starting one in any other airline…
