Payscales accurate with link DB6 posted. As far as i'm aware having hours above the minimum doesnt equate to leapfrogging the salary scale.
Recent recruits have been for Inverness & Glasgow with a couple for Aberdeen (the "gentlemans" base
)
Roster is variable by base. GLA/EDI traditonal lates & earlies with a few nightstops in choice locations
DND earlies & lates (only the 1 a/c and 2 routes)
Aberdeen & Inverness have the Royal Mail post contracts in addition to the passenger schedule, so they have a mixture of all kinds of wierd and wonderful shifts associated with that. Aberdeen also does the early Stornoway newspaper flight these days. Quite simply the best shift in the world. Basically fly to Lewis for a rather nice Bacon & Black pudding softie (with or without tea, your choice), wait for the passenger schedules to leave then fly home with a small standby afterwards.
I have been here 3 years and its still a lot of fun in places.
hope this helps
