Lifestyle is not all about what equipment you fly, it is the multitude of things that an airline offers. I am actually complaining (as you put it, and why shouldn't I?) that I am going nowhere because even in Flybe there is barely any movement at all due to the fact that pilots cannot move on to other airlines (EasyJet being the natural stepper) and thus free up space at the bottom. My situation is slightly different to most, I have a massive pension gap to fill, as do alot of F/Os, so even a 1 year F/O with another major will be on just about the same, or more than a year 0 jet captain. You do not keep your fleet seniority when changing seats within Flybe.
