It seems like that’s an easier life than junior 777 from what has been said.
Is 28 too old to be joining this fleet in terms of reaping the rewards of seniority gains? Currently single, no kids and joining BA would allow me to get back closer to home. Though on the flip side doing the command upgrade at my current outfit would see me earning a lot more money sooner however I’m conscious on the proverbial golden handcuffs too.
In your situation & at your age I wouldn't worry about being junior. Not a disaster given your current lifestyle and by the time other things come around you'll be more senior. Don't forget the pay off does come along eventually. Once you are senior life is brilliant.
The money perspective is another matter altogether and I can understand why that might prompt some careful soul searching.
