Thanks for the heads up re: recruitment!

I am considering applying, but before I waste their time, would somebody mind answering a few questions.

1. Are the figures on PPJN accurate? (£69089)

2. I understand these figures inc a fixed flying allowance. Am I correct assuming that the pension contributions are only based on the basic salary? If so, how much of the quoted figure is basic vs flight pay?

3. Somewhere in the 40 odd pages that I just read, somebody mentioned an upcoming retirement bulge. Is this assessment accurate? And will it significantly affect the 10-12 years quoted for a shot at command?

4. How is the flight deck environment for an FO in general? Are you in general left to your own devices, and allowed to "run the show" on your sector?

5. How many handling sectors might one get on an average month?

Sorry for so many questions.
