My company for one. New joiners with no type rating have to pay back £10k over five years through a reduced starting salary (£2k a year less than normal). For this they get a type rating on either 737 or 75/767. If you choose to leave within the five years you just pay the loan off yourself.

Captains starting salary £63.5k with about £1100 per annum payscale rise up to scale 15.

F/O starting salary is £40k, with a payscale rise of about £1200 per annum. Captains £17 and F/Os £11 per sector. Nearly £3 per hour duty pay. Captains £525 per day and F/Os £360 per day if you sell back a day off.

S/O terms proportionally lower for less than ATPL in hand.

Accidental Death Insurance is about £230k for captains and £130k for F/Os. Loss of Licence £85k for captains, £55k F/Os. £19k a year for TRI/E.

New pension is money purchase (don't know the details as not in it). Uniforms, car parking passes, food and drinks onboard, medicals, sims and all hotac paid for by the company. Positioning by reputable airlines only or Hallmark cars. They also paid a £600 repair bill for my car when it was damaged in a car park at work.

Flying hours about 6-700 per year with 42 days annual leave (max 2 weeks summer, the rest non-summer season). Seniority list for basing/ bids, but not for leave which is done on a points system so everyone gets a fair crack. Mix of shorthaul low cost and charter and longhaul when senior enough.

They are recruiting both S/Os, F/Os and have been employing direct entry captains in the last two years, however many F/Os are looking for upgrades and this practice is on hold at the moment.
