I love where I am right now, but location is so important... are there any truly honest good stories around here? Is the 320 fleet more manageable with a young family?
Plenty of people live a stone’s throw from a J2 type base and then drive an hour and a half to Heathrow every time they go to work, you’re doing the opposite..!
Absolutely 100% move. BA seems to have ridiculously quick commands from looking there. And in 30 years you’ll be a senior 350 captain on an awful lot more than at J2. Even the lowest pay point Heathrow short haul captains at BA likely come out on top financially vs LCCs in the UK when
everything is included.
