BA
- Salary (how much is paid out to the bank account, after taxes, add-ons, etc, etc).
All in, including allowances etc start on around £4k a month if you come as an experienced pilot. After 34 years in the company this tops out around £8k/month.
Do they provide extras (like an apartment, paid utilities, etc?)
No
- Time to upgrade and expected salary as CPT
Long haul command around 20 years.
Short haul command closer to 10 years.
captain salary is 33% more than FO
- General quality of roster (enough rest (on layovers, between flights)). Consistent morning or evening/night flights - not all over the place. Fatigue issues.
Pretty good mixture on long haul. Short haul is very tiring.
rostering system favours seniority - junior pilots get very little choice - and you'll be junior for YEARS
How easy is to make a request with crewing, arrange swaps, etc?
swaps very easy to make, we have a 3rd party aop for it. Crewing are nearly impossible to contact though.
- Atmosphere in the company and flight deck in general
generally a great bunch of people. Poor relationship with management, but hopefully that tide is slowly turning.
