Callsign,
yes your figures are correct including year 5 FO. Year 10 Capt (top scale ) is around £110k on the new joiner scales. Time to command estimated at 10 years for new joiners (big IF as always)
Contract is permanent part time (PPY). You work the full summer season, then in the winter, you work 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. You will get actually, 81.5% of full time salary.
In addition you get:
Duty Rig payment (effectively flying pay). This is around £9 per flying hour, but is uprated by 20% if you do a level 2, and 80% for those flying hours between 0100 and 0700 uk local.
FDA. This is from report time until chocks on at the end of the day. It is £3.52 per hour, 86p of which is tax free.
DC Pension, with 15% company contribution
42 days holidays pa

Opportunities to work in Canada for 6 months in winter through sunwing agreement
All recruitment will be 737 with preference given to NG rated with time.
737 bases MAN, LGW, BHX, NCL, EMA, DSA, LTN, STN, EXT, CWL, BOU. Bases I suspect that will be offered - NCL, CWL, LTN, poss MAN, DSA
Its not been a bed of roses since merger in 2009 mainly due to fleet contraction but the package is still very good.
Recruitment will be over winter with I suspect a March or April start to be on the line May 2013.
Total hours varies by base but an average would be 700 hours excluding Overtime, for full time guys. Summer will be pretty much flat out at 93 hours rostered per calender month.Winters are quieter, but not if you go to Canada
Hope this helps
