BA now have a B scale and not unlike Cathay will no doubt have a C scale in the future.
No they do not.
Six years ago, BA had a compulsory retirement age of 55. (Unlike most British airlines??) So a cadet joining at 20 would enjoy 11 years on pp24 before retirement.
Those yet to join will have a compulsory retirement age of
65 meaning a cadet joining at age 20 will
ALSO now enjoy 11 years on (what was) pp24 before retirement, and due to their longer career , their overall earnings will of course be greater!
Anyone joining before age 31 will reach the top paypoint before retirement, just as they always did.
The only anomoly are those fortunate enough to have been in the right place, at the right time to enjoy the
old pay scale, but the
new legislation! I can assure you BA regard
them as a
big problem to the payroll, spending upto twenty years on the top paypoint!! (150-180k!)
QED: No 'B' payscale at BA! Sorry.
