If you don't mind me saying, your last post raises an issue which may be far more important than salary...
Expecting to have a life with family on a 'precious Bank Holiday weekend' is unlikely to be possible for you as junior trash! Having absolutely no control over your roster for the first few years, might be a deal breaker for you...
BA pilots have a system of seniority (at least some of which is likely illegal) that is similar to what you would have found in a public school. A system in which the 'fags' do all the dross.
Bid for whatever kind of work you wish, but on a Blind Line, (first five years or so...) you only have access to the stuff that nobody else wanted, and you will simply be rostered (Usually on all the
days that nobody else wants to work, rather than the destinations!) with
very little consideration for any requested days off for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, xmas etc. Expect to be working the vast majority of weekends, and to miss some important family occasions.
PS: The big boys aren't expected to work bank holidays!
