It is truly diverse out there. Even within BA there seems to be a large discrepency; it seems that Shorthaul is where the money is if you're junior.
After 3 1/2 years flying the 747-400 may average take home is 2700GBP, last month it was 2550GBP. Only 3 times in as many years has it been the right side of 3000GBP!
This can be attributed to the vast difference between a good (senior) line of work and a poor (junior) line. This vast difference doesn't exist in S/H, so everyone gets an even hand dealt to them.
Here's hoping Lufty really do get their 30%!
