To be fair, I'm only interested in salaries in the context of this discussion. I am a BA Airbus skipper, and forgive me for saying so, but I would consider moving to Easy as a retrograde step. We have had many new joiners from Easy recently, and it seems you also, would still like to come to BA...

As far as take home pay is concerned, of course a significant proportion of our pilots live abroad, and take advantage of the prevailing tax rates of their domicile, so it's very difficult to generalise what the 'take home pay' of a BA pilot would be. Though inevitably some will pay very little tax on a salary in excess of £200,000!

Those who remain in the UK presumably do so out of choice, and accepting the current tax regime.

As far as remuneration is concerned, might I suggest you may be making assumptions which aren't necessarily correct. For example, I have no idea what your loss of licence, pension, relocation allowances, training emoluments, etc are worth.
