Anyone joining now will accept a lower starting salary, take longer to reach the SFO scale, and will wait a hell of a lot longer for a command: I'd not expect anyone joining easyJet now to get to the left seat any sooner than 10 years after joining, and given the profile of current pilots, it may be CONSIDERABLY longer than that. If I was in a particularly pessimistic mood, I'd say that with minimal expansion and very low attrition rates, it could easily be 15-20 years to command for a new joiner. That is a BA timescale.
Utter rubbish.
