thanks SMOC for that
another question, whats the most number of days (average) in a row SOs FOs Cptns get off in a month?
last question (to those who can be bothered)...
two pilots A and B
pilot A is self funded up to fATPL + MECIR + IR, builds hours instructing and doing GA + eventually RPT then gets into the cadetship with a solid 3000 hours or so...
meanwhile Pilot B a fresh out of highschool shiny jet groupie ab-initio gets into the cadetship
assuming they both start their position as
S/O at the same time, are there ANY advantages at all (financial, career progression, T&Cs etc) that pilot A will have over pilot B? besides experience and decision making skills (and stories to tell)
like say for example would pilot A be offered an upgrade to JFO-FO-Cptn earlier or quicker?
thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light
p.s im not implying that all icadets/wannabes are shiny jet groupies
