Yeah not so sure it is that much difference because of school fees- i.e. 35 year old Captain new hire vs 55 year old (oldie)- the pay scale difference is not that much compared to the cost to the company of educating 2 or more kids. "oldies" tend to have University level kids , and since EK chooses not to subsidize that, saves them quite a bit .
