Basic pay at PP1 is identical, but you'll earn more in TAFB payments (Time away from base). How much more you'll take home as a result is dependent on your spending habits down route to a degree!
Also open to non rated, but the fleet doesn't usually take many DEPs. Maybe 20 in the past 5 years or so.
A380 only possible for 320 rated guys? Or also nonrated?

Any junior FO's SH care to share current take home pay? I know its variable based on X, Y and Z. But a rough figure would be great based on the summer months.

Apparently A320 peeps are getting very quick dips in the pool. Others a bit longer (but not that long).
I heard they’ve changed the system so you get one email with an offer, 24 hours to accept and then kicked out of the pool if you reject.

Nothing is being cancelled, but we've been working our nuts off. It has been a very busy year and there are a lot of new guys/girls starting on the 320 at the moment.

Might not be news to you Barcli but it’s happening in every industry in every company so get over it. Got a mate who’s got a good job in the Home Office, he was telling me their official mantra is “do more with less”. We’re actually reasonably insulated in the aviation industry comparison with the demands of the real world..

Yes, I did. They never mentioned it as I think it’s just for ID. I also took my Drivers Licence just in case. My other passport was with the Visa people so I took a copy of that one along too but didn’t need it. Good luck!

I did my sim on the 13th of September, got the email that I was in the holdpool on the 17th, and got the call today the 21st, for a January start date on the 320 at LHR. Im not 320 rated at the moment btw. So things can move very quickly!
