Does BA have a Senior FO pay scale?
I think (not absolutely sure) that BA has, or used to have, a Senior FO status and pay-rate?
If so could someone in the know explain? I'm interested in at what number of years it kicks in and for how long. Also, is the pay-rate higher than for a regular FO and by how much?
Reason for asking is that at my company, during current contract negotiations, FO's are disgruntled at the level of stagnation and want a higher percentage of Captain's pay in the future in lieu of the longer time to left seat upgrade. I was wondering if instituting a Senior FO status might just 'fill the gap'.
Thoughts anyone?
