Well, QN, cannot say I am over interested in this, but unless it has changed since it happened to me and all the other ex Dans obtaining command, we went initially to pay-point 1 on the Captain's scale, and then when BA/BALPA found no-one was bidding out of LHR to LGW for command they raised the bottom pay-scale to 5, still putting us below our 'correct' seniority. Feel free to correct this if it has changed. I suspect it has not been 'noticed' as all bidders into LGW are so junior?
Anyway, I'm out of there
