Thats what MoD needs to wake up to if they intend to compete. Pay point 35 if you can get there even as an FO is over 130k a year. Leave early or miss out. That's the message the front line guys are hearing loud and clear.
British Airways pilot jobs news for airline pilots and aviation schools
So PAS has 35 levels for Sqn Ldr pilots that pays up to £85k per annum plus the SCAPE rate is 52.4% of that salary to generate the sort of pension you will get in an Armed Forces Pension - so total package is £129,500. Then if you add in free dental care, medical care and cheap quarters (they might be a bit carp but they are cheap) then the BA deal looks a bit sour to me? Also, I heard on the grapevine that rosters are brutal and you have to book your whole year’s leave in advance by October each year otherwise you are into bartering with the Roster Nazis?
Is that grass really just a different intensity of the same shade?
