On the BA/EZY thing. It’s not all about the money but I have yet to find anything exciting that’s not expensive. BA basic pay is around 13k a year less for a junior captain. In 5 years time it’s still the same gap and in 10 years it closes to 8k. After 21 years in BA you finally catch up. (Assuming PP34 and SH) Allowances are roughly similar. The pension at BA is better though. 16.5% company with AVC’s at my current level verses 7% at easy. I don’t think you can move just for the ££ due to the tax rate over 100k but you could pile that extra into the pension to max your allowance and keep you below 100k.
Rexbanner, what’s your view on the finances?
