I just can’t stand the way BA operates especially after the last few years. I know it’s been tough for most airlines but it opened my eyes.
Most people I hear that have made the move are happy with it .
I think someone tried to send me a message but it won’t work yet as I’m new to pprune
Not ex-BA, but thought I'd add my 2p:
Basic for 100% Captains is a shade under £130k; sector pay is probably about £10k; a second hat will get you get a few £k more. Part time options are being offered. Cpts had profit share of about £13k this year. Company pension contribution is 10% for 3% for Cpts.
Atmosphere is usually positive. Support from local management is incredible - really, really good. It's a great place to work, that tries hard to improve. The aircraft are very well maintained, and there's always support if you need it. There is no seniority.
Negatives (for the sake of going in with your eyes open) are generally thought to be:
1) Training department has a higher ratio of difficult instructors then perhaps you might be used to. The majority are excellent, but...
2) Manuals are improving, but still it can be hit and miss to find what one needs, when one needs it.
3) The earlies are EARLY (0400h) and the lates are LATE (0400h). That said, they have an excellent fatigue system, and are positively improving the rostering.
