Question 1 and 3:
The Future Pilot Programme involves completing all flight and simulator training, up to and including the type rating licence skills test (LST), as a cadet pilot and during that time the cadet pilot is not an employee of British Airways, APL or the FTO, and no salary is earned.
If a cadet pilot successfully completes all training to the required standards, and pilot vacancies at British Airways exist at that time, they will be offered an unconditional offer of employment as a first officer. From that point on the cadet pilot will become a permanent employee of British Airways Plc.
The year 1 basic salary for a Future Pilot Programme first officer is £22,770, 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.
Question 2:
British Airways Retirement Plan (BARP) is the pension scheme for all new employees. This is a ‘contracted in’, defined contribution scheme. Additionally members of BARP will, subject to a qualifying period, qualify for Permanent Health Insurance.
The first is from the FAQ's on the FPP website, the second off the BA careers website.
Took me all of two minutes to find it, as I said earlier you need to use initiative and common sense. I am not being harsh, to succeed in this career you have to 'step up to the plate'

Best of luck.
