Is the 4% rise in Jan applicable to Basic pay, sector pay and variable/enhanced flying pay?
Is the 11% productivity pay on basic only, or do all the pay elements above increase by 11% as well?
Is basic pay YR1 SFO £88,132? I’ve read several times others including the 60Sectors guaranteed pay in the basic sum as it’s guaranteed, though by definition it’s not basic pay, just trying to figure out what figures to apply percentages to. Other forums are listing £96945 as yr1 sfo basic but I’m not sure this is correct?
Thank you for your help, please PM me if you can share this info, I’m weighing up a decision and need help with the financials.
That's a lot of questions!! You have to bear in mind that the ink is still drying on the deal and it's very complex. Still lots of misunderstanding on all sides and implementation "issues".
The company have previously stated that the average FT pilot was flying 87 sectors a year. A few less on the a Boeing (but higher block hours) and a few more on the Airbus (depending on whether you're 350 only, 330 only, mixed etc). But that is likely to change as the company move the fleet deployment around.
As for the 4% in Jan... that's made up of 3% on the basic and something like 11% on the flying pay. The variable and enhanced flying pay are fixed percentages of basic pay, so they go up by 3% as well.
I think by the "productivity pay" you are referring to the booster contract. That gives you 11% extra on your base pay for giving up your golden days and most of the union roster protections. The 11% is not applied to the flying/sector pay, but as you are flying more sectors, you'll hit the 91 FDPs quicker and therefore move onto the Enchanced Flying Pay quicker. At that point, each FDP (sector, basically) you
fly above 91 gives you £423 as a SFO1.
Hope that helps
