BA
I'm surprised at how unhappy many BA pilots there are - I work for BA as a Waterside person (jeez should I duck now??) and have always wanted to be a pilot.
I am taking voluntary redundancy in order to fund my own training after which I will earn less than I do now for a couple of years. I'm doing it because I have always loved flying and it worries me that several of you would probably tell me to stay put in view of the decline in your terms and conditions! On the other hand after a degree and 11 years experience of IT and project Management including 7 years in BA I take home just short of £2500 a month, get 26 days leave a year and have 8 days leave a month on average. I know a SFO on 747's with 7 years experience who takes home £4000-£4500 a month, gets more leave and most importantly isn't bored at work!
If it's any consolation FS&S has been pretty severe in the back office with around 1/3 of Managers cut so it is totally incorrect to call it a failure. If you believe BA has an overmanned back office then it seems to me FS&S is addressing that quite well.
Maybe you need to sit in a department where people are seriously worried about their job security and whether they can continue paying their mortgage to get some perspective.
