Becoming an airline pilot is a big step. The future pilot programme locks you into BA for 7 years.

BA have been struggling to compete recently as other airlines lower costs and pay less. in 2009 BA was in a position of reducing pay.

There's no doubt BA is the best airline to work for at the moment but consideration should be taken into it's future.

What happens to your £86k if the airline goes bust? What if they lower pay or change their terms?

I've been reading about the low pay of smaller airlines and some of the gripes they have and hope it's not the future for all airlines.

These are some of my concerns at the moment. I'm really hoping someone with more knowledge than me and can reassure me that the future is bright.
