cheers
Thanks for the info, is nice to hear that a jet captain moving to BA still feels it was worth it.
As for the possible loss of money over a career, I am not fussed as I am only 27 and have really enjoyed the command and regional lifestyle, probably the best fun I will have in an airline.
Turbo prop salarys are not great but compared to most of my school friends, command salarys are good, even with a big loan.
Staying here was the best decision I've made so far, I felt so much better when I realised what's important. Some of my friends from training are on long haul already and earning twice as much but they do seem to be less content though.
We shall see how I feel in 10 years, I will probably want to return to the westcountry and the old Dash!
Do many people stay short haul in BA, I always get mixed opinions of life in longhaul.
