We used 30 year careers as we were all in upper 20's with the BA retiring at 55 with 5 years in Go as LHS upon retirement. FRA and GO spent enitre career in same airline. Non BA put 10% into pension but got command 8 years earlier. FRA pilot started at age 24 me 26 and BA 28 from a cadet scheme with 5 years of reduced pay couple with a base change which he wanted to get out of SE England.
Not in anyway representative of exactly same case scenarios but it was what each of us in the pub at the time were faced with.
Hardly a full analysis by The Money Programme but I remain convinced that the historic BA advantage in monetary career worth is now marginal compared to many other airline careers.
Factor in the frankly appalling morale within BirdSeed..
