    Candidates see year one pay and panic. How fast does it grow?

  2. #2

    Emirates: grade steps, so year one to year three is the big jump when you move grade, then business grade around year three or four. Roughly 40 percent up over five years including the grade moves.

    Air France: tariff steps yearly, slower but steady, and the big move is purser. Twelve years, roughly doubled from year one.

  4. #4

    US majors: hourly rate steps every year for the first twelve or so years under the contracts, so the growth is steady and long. The year one number is the worst it will ever be.
