Based on the above, yr 5 should be about 47k, yr 6 48, yr 7 50.
It's worth noting that your pensionable pay is based on the full DEP salary ie) BA put in a generous 12% of 49.5, the pilot standard amount is 6% but you can vary that. You also get a free type rating, full time contract, full healthcare, CAA medical fees, uniform, car parking, crew meals, city centre 'first class' hotels, full staff travel inc 1 free ticket in business, an ipad, 6 weeks leave, stable rosters that you'll eventually have a lot of control over.....
I believe there are also lots of opportunities for overtime if you need extra cash.
As someone said this is designed to remove money as a selection filter so I hope no one is put off by the finances. I guess if you already have a mortgage and a family to support it may be a slightly different story, but then it may be possible to put property up as a guarantee for the loan?
I think fulltanks hits the nail on the head with paragraph 3 above.
