Yeah most people get their significant salary improvements through transitions rather than sticking with a job don't they?

A friend of mine has been a flight attendant for more than 25 years. The pay gets moderately better over time, but the main benefit of seniority is choosing your flights. She can fit the trips around her child-rearing responsibilities, and since she only does dreamliner destinations (London, Paris, Barcelona, London, etc), she not only gets to go to cool places, but the longer flights are much more efficient and rewarding in terms of hours and $.
