10-15% depending on rank. As with everything, the reason for it is more convoluted and nuanced than what is posted on prune, but largely cadets have been taken advantage of for a long time and FO scales aren’t keeping up with competition, so the speed tape has been applied.
Mood? All ranks in receipt of pay rise I imagine are appreciative but still pretty keen to see more change to lifestyle. Most SFO/CP are still in mourning from their 750 hour contracts and there is an awful lot of pressure on BALPA to secure a meaningful and significant change to pay/lifestyle in the negotiations that have started. Hopefully the pilots leaving for BA/EK etc shows the SLT it’s not the time to faff around.
That being said people are largely a pleasure to fly with and you will likely always find a few mates to have a beer with downroute
