easyprison - check your PMs. Sorry if my PM seems impersonal - it was originally posted on here but was removed by me a short time later for the reasons I mentioned. Remember that I quoted 15 years not 40! The figures I sent you are hopefully reasonably clear but as I said it is an extremely complex calculation. It is incredibly difficult to produce comparisons between airlines and the only way to do it is to gross up the benefits. If you do it any other way it creates a false picture. The bottom line is that I am sticking to my statement that over 15 years a captain at easyJet will earn more than a captain at GB. That is not in any way to knock GB as they are a great company but you need to do a calculation of the overall package. The difference is that at GB you get 14.5% in the pension whereas with easyJet you only get 7% - therefore there is always a danger of not puting away money when you should. Cheers.
