Are they calling pilots without CAA licence but willing to change it?

I interviewed with my ICAO ATPL but had already finished the UKCAA exams and started the conversion process. Wasn’t an issue as I had my license completed by the time I was offered a start date.

as per the job ad they require you to either
Hold a UK Part-FCL Licence

or

Hold an EASA licence and have previously held a UK Part-FCL licence and meet the “Third Country CPL and ATPL licence conversion requirements”

I think all UK airlines are going to have troubles hiring pilots facing S24.

Could someone please explain to me how the payment structure works?

For example, if I join as a SH FO, say in 6 years I go for command, will I be on the payment schedule as a command year 1, or year 6?

And when downgrading after another 6 years to go for long haul RHS, will I then be on the schedule as a year 12 LH FO, or year 1 (effectively either way a chunky pay cut!)

You slide across at Paypoint 6…every year that passes you go up a paypoint on the anniversary of your date of joining.
