Goodanavon smiledude !
Hoe gaat het ?
I'm a BA DEP who used to work for a Dutch carrier ......
Average take home with allowances is around £2900 per month, (I have had as much as £3250).
Pay jumps significantly at 5 year point, I hear Senior FO's on long haul averaging well over £4200.
You will start on shorthual (probably A320, but maybe 767 or 737).
Initial type freeze is 5 years (NO bond!), then 4 years subsequentley. (could then move to 777, 744 etc ).
Very good final salary pension gives 1/52th of final salary for each year worked, can raise this to 1/45th.
Very good seniority based bidding system for rosters each month, tend to get days off or trips wanted.
Very impersonal, 3500 pilots, rigid flying rules (not encouraged to manual fly or raw data stuff).
BA is a solid company, it will be here in 30 years time where as other airlines may not.
Good bunch of crews, good crew meals, high standard of hotels and a very strong pilots union .....
You could do a lot worse .....
TOT ZEINS !
