Indeed ~ 97% earning a tiny fraction of an airline pilots salary.
My advice to the OP would be to get command in BA on the 320 then apply to places as a DEC rather than a DEP. Quick upgrades aren’t guaranteed at a new airline and while that’ll be the aim, what you’re actually doing is swapping BA LH FO for FO SH loco somewhere in the hope you’ll a) get a quick upgrade opportunity and b) pass the course. I’d wait until I had upgraded on SH in BA first and see what options are available then...
