There is supposedly a “Career Pathway” in to mainline, but it’s not used or realistically available. The only advantage is we go straight through to Day 1 of the interview process.

Just talking abut it with a mate who is considering a move there from FlyBE. It is always nice to earn more money but comparing it to other Regional operators like Eastern Airways, FlyBE, Loganair and Stobart Aviation the salary doesn’t look too bad. Or did we miss something?

Jumbo2,
Possibly not bad for a true regional airline. However please bear in mind that your work week will be more alighted with BA mainline ex LHR. 3-6 day tours are the norm with a duty pay of about £2/hr. You will probably spend most of that £2 eating down route. As a so called regional airline we fly to the Greek Islands daily during the summer months and Keflavik during the winter months. The number of night stops is similar with both EDI & LCY bases. With an EDI base there is no such thing as a 2 sector day!!

Thanks fair enough, didn't realise they went as far as Greece. Was meanly basing my opinion about the work on the ex-CityFlyer pilots who are shocked now working for Mainline about how hard they have to work compared to what they refer to as their cosy life in CityFlyer. I even heard one or two are considering going back to Cityflyer having only started in mainline last year.
