Im mid 30's. Am about one to two years off command at EZY.
My G'f is a ten year SFO BA pilot. She will remain long-haul until retirement.
Marriage and kids within the next two to three years.
Money more or less seems to work out evenly at my stage of life. Higher earnings initially with EZY when upgraded to captain, but BA will match current EZY money in around ten year’s time. Meanwhile hers will be going up and up from here on in. G'f is also on final salary pension scheme.
Do I want l'haul myself? I'm on BA staff travel so I get to sit in 1A for £150 a few times per year so I'm semi-satisfied with seeing the world. Ideally if EZY did one or two more night stops and I had more time to get stuff done in a working block (lates in particular), would I move? I don't think so.
If only I knew what was around the corner at EZY but I think I smell changes to come.
She's keen for me to move across for the long term sake of the family to be. Roster planning, part-time working available...
I may or may not pass BA selection but if I do, should I go?
