Not so simples, Meerkat old chap. Many many TCX pilots are seeking the lifeboat, but there are simply not so many jobs about. (Experienced pilots are often viewed with mistrust by selection panels for various reasons). So a number I know have been unsuccessful in even gaining interviews through no real fault of their own. The packages if selected are of course much lower than the existing pay. Twas ever thus. So an SFO with 10 years experience is not going to be paid anything like their current package. But this has not deterred many, to the best of my knowledge.
There are the guys over 55. Despite anti-ageist legislation, they are not getting interviews either. Difficult to prove anything there.
All I am saying is that the choice is not as easy as "Do I stay or do I go?". More folk wish to leave than are able.
