Your also more likely to get a weekend / Christmas off at Easyjet earlier in your career!
Apparently it isn't very hard to get Christmas off at BA. I was chatting with a BA pilot not that long ago (not at Waterside incidentally) and he said to me nobody really tries to book Christmas off as they just don't think they'll get it, and for that reason those who do actually do usually get it.
I might have misunderstood him, but that's what I believe he said.
I'm not sure about the salaries. What I do know is that after a while in either airline you'll be earning a good salary. And for me the money isn't particularly important. I don't need to earn a six-figure salary to get by in life.
Anyway; not to deviate off topic, it'll be interesting to see more information on Easyjet's scheme when it becomes available.
