I compared the SFO (for someone with 3000+ hrs) pay vs FO at BA ( no Direct SFO option). Virgin was more by atleast 10k £.
Next, virgin pays layover allowances into a card, vs BA pays it with salary. That brings another 500£ monthly i believe for Virgin. I read in an earlier post that with all allowances year 1 pay for BA FO with overtime can be around 110k, but this is around 120-125k for virgin SFO with 3-4 overtime trips I believe ( with layover allowance paid separately into card). Correct me if I'm wrong ?
