Ladies & Gents,
Just to clarify I'm confused....From my reading...you could have a 5-6 year A380 FO through no fault of his/her own who would have say transferred to the 38o at year 3.5 (coz there were no upgrades at their seniority then) who has done the first 3.5 years doing 330 India night turns mainly, now has to have 2500 in the RHS of said bus (new FCI) to transfer to LHS 380 for command.(say 2.5 -3 yrs total 380 time = 6.5 yrs total)...
...yet (wait for it!)...a euro LCC PIC with 7k total time & 2.5k cmnd time can technically come in and interview for Capt...and not even have to know the fcukn OMA....And get a 7 yr start on Capt pay compared to said FO...
What an absolute disgrace....
Cue DSO...car convo...
45ish 3 stripe to 32ish 4stripe:
" mornin!... How long you hear skip?"
" 6.5 weeks!...you?"
"6.5 years on widebody/doubledecker, 3rd world intl flying @ 60% of your pay skippy"
Pathetic.
