In principle promotions based on the seniority list only. During times of severe pilot shortages however, experienced First Officers for the short/medium haul fleet have been hired from outside the company. These First Officers were put on the bottom of the seniority list, and can't earn a higher salary (based on the same age) than Second Officers who were already employed. |
