Take home just under £3000ish in summer.
Time to command probably faster than any other comparable airline in the UK and depends on experience. 3 yrs is a decent bet perhaps increasing to within 5yrs as a guess if the turnover slows down post this batch of recruitment. Occasionally quicker if right time, right place with required experience and performance. Command selection based on meritocracy not seniority is the policy at the moment.
