Solon's warning? Oh yeah I know the one, don't mix HP sauce with ketchup? Especially not on those bacon rolls you get at easyjet for £5.
Greek mythology aside, I decided BA was going to offer me more over a 30+ year career then easyjet ever would. For plenty of guys I know this wasn't the case - they were happy to be short-haul captains for the rest of their careers and be home everynight. My point is if you feel BA offers you the flexibility and potential lifestyle that would suit you and your aspirations then the change in the PP24 scale to 34 increments should make little difference to your desire to join. I would suggest that it would be a tad shortsighted to just chase the biggest paycheck when in reality it is the lifestyle that makes the job, and the big appeal of BA for many pilots is the opportunity to decide exactly which sort of lifestyle and flying pattern suits them. There will never exist one "stand alone" best airline job.
