So lets get this right. Join BA and:
1. Start on a lower salary than you would at EasyJet, Go or Ryanair.
2. Then stay on that salary for five or so years.
3. Then wait at least another two years for a command, when you could have been left hand seat in Easy four years ago.
4. Whilst in the meantime that salary in point 1 is reduced in real terms by constant attacks on pilots terms and conditions.
5. Plus you have to move to the South East and find a home in the most overheated housing market in the nation.
6. Then find some spare cash to pay into a pension because the final salary scheme is gone.
Doesn't sound very attractive, does it? In fact you'd better hope that the worry doesn't make you sick because if you can't fly you don't get allowances, which means you can't afford to pay the mortgage. Mind you, its all you deserve because pilots are lazy and overpaid, and even if you're logging 900hrs per year its not enough and you must work harder. That must be true because it practically says so in the company newspaper every fortnight.
Oh, did I mention you'll spend your working day locked behind a metal door with no human contact and you'll have to request a babysitter from the cabin crew come up if you need to go for a leak in flight.
