Firstly shouldn't you ask whats the company like to work for! But anyway in comparison to other touring jobs their pay is very competative.

-£10k to the above at another
From what I'm hearing with the latest bunch of new recruits on the East side, it's more like £15 less. Ouch

It actually stands at £17k less. I have friends who have just joined both east side and west side operators. Very disappointing.

So are you saying that some new starts are being taken on at £24k or are you saying something else?

Be aware that retirement age with Bristow is 58 so make sure that your bank loan is paid off before then.

I may be wrong, but I think that went out the window a few years ago (soon after the pension scheme underwent a Chanter/Blake rework)

Well the contrcat that I signed said 58. I was always told that this allowed Bristow to terminate your services at that point if they wanted to replace you with a less expensive, younger, replacement or allow you to continue if it suited them.

In 2006 the UK parliament enacted a law against age discrimination. This law generally supersedes contractual retirement ages, hence Bristow UK now has captains in their sixties working towards the international age limit of 65 for public transport flights.

Additionally Bristow UK has retired captains flying as contract day-rate copilots. A couple of these could have continued as permanent full-time captains, but chose not to.

The table above showing salaries for various occupations seems somewhat out of date.
