All those who keep asking the question about basic pay.... Please read my post on page one of this thread. It's simple to understand!! If you are having problems with that maybe a job at BACF is not for you! You'll make my life harder if you get hired!
Duty pay is still £1.90 per hour.
Days off. Min 9 each month except Feb where it is 8. They are usually really good at giving you just the 9! You might see 10 but not often more than that. Can't remember when I had more than 10 off other than a leave month!
Sector pay can add about an extra £400 each month (now taxed at a ridiculous rate by HMRC) plus disruption/day off payments.
Time to report off a standby in LCY is 90 minutes.
Crew food is cr@p.
Summer is as busy as winter with the new seasonal destinations from LCY and charters from other locations.
You can expect between 2-3 nights away each week as LCY based. A few two day trips have been working their way into the LCY FO's roster.
Split duties for LCY based flight crews on Fri and Sun nights are now common.
It has been said by others that the GMFO has not respect for First Officers and only barely tolerates Captains. I could not disagree with that statement!
Staff Travel is same to that of any BA employee,
not the same as BA flight Deck.
A great bunch of people to work with, not a great place anymore to work. Shame, as with the right leadership this could be the place in Europe to work. Be warned don't expect it to get better. Just as you start to think it can't get any worse........ it does!!!
