Pay scales
 

Are the below pay scales (from pilotjobsnetwork) actually true?

Can a FO earn £70k with EJ after just 4 years? Find it hard to believe ...


YEAR BA easyJet Deficit
1 45,425 38,750 6,675
2 50,704 38,000 19,379
3 55,982 57,006 18,355
4 63,372 70,396 11,331
5 69,707 70,396 10,642
6 72,874 70,396 13,119
7 75,513 70,396 18,236
8 65,842 70,396 13,682

It's interesting to note that from Yr7 to Yr8 BA pay decreases £9671 from £75513? That's a decrease of 12.8%? Should that be expected?

Pay scales
 

The only way into ba at present is through FFP and I'm pretty certain they're not on 50k year 2.

TODA.1; the drop represents when FPP Cadets would have finished receiving the bond repayments from BA (£12k per year).

spider_man; the figure quoted for year 2 includes the basic salary; bond repayment; and flight allowances. It looks about right to me, but it's important to note the detail behind the figure. It's certainly not the same as a base salary of the same figure.

Those look like interesting figures. I wonder where you got them from?

The figures for easyJet is from these two places:
Latest news - easyJet plc

easyJet (UK Contract pilot jobs, payscales and entry requirements.)

G-FORC is correct for BA and thats what I assumed. I think it was mentioned at Waterside that the fleet pay is now fixed? The bond repayment is tax free.

For easyJet, its made up of base pay, sector pay (assuming 600 per year, this is a guess though) and loyalty bonus. Reading it in more detail, it might actually be the 5th year when the SFO pay grade kicks in.

For me I did the Maths to see if it was worth holding out for another year for the FPP or having a go at the easyJet MPL. It helped me make my mind up..
