Once you've got 3000 factored hours you can apply for and upgrade and command pay in the UK from April 1st will be £117k + sector (approx 14k) + loyalty pay (5/10/15% dependent on service length).
If you're happy doing ACMI work then stay where you are. For more choices in the long term, job stability, command prospects, fixed roster etc then easyJet is a no brainer. If you simply want to sell out to the highest bidder in the short term then apply to someone like Emirates.
Its not able selling out to the highest bidder, I have a young family and want to make sure I can cover all bills for the first few years at Easyjet. Especially if waiting for 2 years service to get SFO. I thought their basic starting salary would have been the same or more to my current. employer. Thanks for all the feedback.
