Every 'cadet' that walks through the door has access to the same career progression and contracts that their legacy colleagues had. It just takes a little longer to achieve. That was a key part of the original strategy employed by the union. No matter what way you dress it up £42k isn't a bad start to flying with 200hrs experience. It increases every year despite the rumours because it was designed that way. No change in rank results in less salary even if you end up part-time in the process for a while. The number of days off in the roster is also the very same as the fixed pattern.
Many will go to BA .. Of course .. That's a no brainer if you plan to fly for the next 30+ years. Good luck to them. Easyjet it what it is. Like it or leave is the mantra.
