Compare the pilots at BA to those at Ryanair. Or the cabin crew.

  That's because a lot of the pilots at BA are more senior as they have been at the job for longer and don't need to retire any time. A lot of the pilots at the cheaper carriers are more junior and earlier on in their careers, mainly because the larger airlines are full and don't need to employ them. I have a friend who's a first officer at a low cost airline because he couldn't get a job flying at the majors.
