Bluepeely, Go for it!! Start now because it is a long tough road to the RHS of a jet with a good airline!
Mind you, I have alway thought that working in the trades did not pay nearly enough to compensate for the dullness of the job. I am only to happy to cough up (normally cash) to some poor bloke to unblock my drains, etc.
Get out while you can

arem,
You don't know how lucky you are just worked it out and you would need a £1.6 million fund to give you that level of pension, no wonder BA is a pension fund with wings.
Cheers T&G

Wingswinger,
One of my friends works at a bank were it is a dismissible offence to discuss wages.
Talk about keeping the common peasants in their place.
I think open discussion about who gets what and why can only help give us an idea of how badly (or well) off we are.
FIS.

Regarding Arems BA pension....
Thats is not the case these days. Folk are taking home a fraction of that on the current pension deal, and it will be shrinking further with the present pension deal that is going through at the moment.

Re-heat,
Good fund managers/banking hierachy and the like in the city can take home 8 figures or more, in a much smaller timescale than it would take a pilot to hit 6.
For money, there is no comparison.

£75000 per year net after tax. AF captain since 2006 ( A320), . But very interesting point by arem, what do you get when retired? will try to find the equivalent in AF ( B744 retired captain and ask). And I am pretty sure it is way less than a BA pilot. Well done Balpa !!!!

Take home pay 2600 euro after 1½ years in service
+ app. 1000 euro into the pension scheme.
600-700 hours a year, extremely tuff schedules, example:
Day 1 check in 4:00 am local time to LPA, landing 16:00 pm
Day 2 check in 16:00 pm local time, landing 4:00 am
And so on....
