The quote was that LCC CPs are:
on roughly double that pay
I don’t know any LCC CPs on £164k but a yr 1 VS SFO is on £82k basic.
Fletch:
British Airways it seems
I doubt BA would consider themselves a LCC though. How long after joining before you are on both £164k
and a long haul fleet?
I’m a VS SFO, a couple of years in; last year I did 640hrs and made £104k gross, with extra working payments. Airbus Commands are currently going to people who joined in 2017. And I’ve been a LCC Captain - the pay cut to move across to VS (pre covid) has definitely been worth it. Long haul is not everyone’s cup of tea, I’ll grant, but few airlines are as good as they were 10, or even 4 yrs ago, including BA. What’s the time to RHS LH in BA at the moment?
If you don’t want to join, fine - you do you. We probably don’t want you, anyway. Good luck to the rest of you.
