None of it is accurate. FO Year 1 (Joining with < 3000 hrs) will be ~£91,600. SFO Yr 1 (>3000 hrs) ~£101,500. Captain Yr 1 ~£162,300. This is all based on doing 87 sectors a year and not falling behind by having more than two short term sick days, going on LTS or maternity etc.
Whilst the money is a welcome improvement, the deal is looking like it’s going to be rejected because the revised scheduling agreement is reducing the number of required days off after most trips or duties. ATL, Florida, NAS and Caribbean all used to attract three rostered days off, they will now attract two. The only trip that gains a 3rd DO is CPT. Florida trips that were two nights down route are being changed to one night. A rule to have a heavy crew is introduced but allows VS crews operate as 2-man for an hour longer than BA allows, and isn’t valid if you fly the A330.
