fastidious bob
Could you put us all out of our misery and tell us which airline pays £95k to a brand new Captain please?
And how many hours did you have when you upgraded?
I know airline requirements have changed over the years, but I don't know of any that upgrade FOs with less than 4000 hours.
Or perhaps you had 4000 hours when you did your course?
Also is it £95k basic, or including flight pay?
Anyway, I wish my airline had Captains starting salary of £95k!!!!!
Although the airline would probably have gone bust already if it did!!!!

easyJet Captain's salary is around £100k (all in), paid 90% for the first 6 months.
Promotion can generally be after 3000 hours, however this is changing at the moment, so expect it to be longer.
Another note, I do know a few guys who are on £40-£50k straight out of flight school.

95K?, but how much money your wife asked for the divorce(sorry divorces...
), and how much you pay to your kids to buy their drug
.
people seem to envy you ( you like to make people jealous?), I don't...you don't represent the pilot community anymore.
you will be the next one to be fired!

£95k!
- maybe in a couple of years time for me; been flying for 20 years; 14 LHS Jet. I guess the LCCs that have a 'flat' salary scale will necessarily appear to have "higher" headline salaries. However, I don't have to drag the family away to somewhere they don't want to be, the flying is a good mix, and the beer's good over here. Horses for courses, methinks.
The 100k salary is no doubt potentially achieveable in the first 3 years, but you either are going to be very lucky or are likely to be somewhere you don't wanna be, flying with people you would probably rather not, or prostituting yourself to a questionable bunch of @ssholes in management who spend their spare time pulling the heads off bunny rabbits.
-be careful what you wish for.

a320rider does (through all his rhetorical babblings) have a point. However he does have this compulsion to reiterate his anti P2F crusade very frequently over a long period of time... and articulation may not be his strongest point (nor English I suspect).
p2f IS a cancer that is spreading rapidly, and it will destroy the industry eventually, T&C slowly eroding as we speak.
You want?
737/A320 500hrs - no problem - just show us your 200TT CPL/IR (FAA/JAA or Nigerian... or what the heck...) and give us some dosh.
A330/A340 - no probs - licence, logs and cash please!
LHS 744 - noooo problem - show us your licence*, log books but just as importantly SHOW US** THE MONEY!
I could type another few thousands words on the subject but I'm too tired to even start.
*Nigerian Licences most welcome (as are any dodgy ICAO papers..)
