Nobody knows for how long and how much, and despite endless and meaningless soothing messages from management, there’s no sign of it changing. Be sure to ask them about Delta at your interview.
I’ve worked for several airlines and some other big companies (much bigger than BA) before getting into aviation. The management culture here is truly toxic, and worse than anywhere I’ve ever experienced.
As an outsider, why is it so difficult to find your pay scales? On this side of the pond they’re all but publicly available.
The secrecy (if that’s the right word) makes it’s pretty difficult to make an informed decision when comparing companies.
