Thanks - much appreciated. I'm going along but I must say this is a sure sign of major deterioration in T's & C's:
"The year 1 basic salary for a Future Pilot Programme first officer is £22,000, with a further £8-£10,000 of flying allowances typically being earned in a full year of flying (please note that these allowances are not guaranteed and are subject to levels and type of flying completed). Remember that as well as pay and allowances, British Airways will pay you back your security bond, tax–free, at the rate of £12,000 per year for the first seven years of your employment as a pilot."
If successful this will result in 18 months lost salary, interest payments on the loan and/or lost interest on the £84k bond which BA do not seem to inflate over the 7 year repayment. £32k max starting salary to take on all this risk with an economy on a knife edge and I'm sure a tube driver gets more!! How times have changed......?!?!?! I must be mad.
