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!)

Traditional career path was SH f/o, LH f/o, SH Capt, LH Capt. Each change is a pay rise.
Now there are quite a few taking an early SH command. Not many ever go back to the RHS after a command as it’s a pay cut.
Some stay LH f/o until they can be LH Capt. Takes a while.
As a previous poster stated, you go up a pay point each year. When you change job you slide across to that pay point on the new scale.
Good luck all!

What is the deal if you are at BA Euroflyer? I know you are locked into EF for 5 years, however if you then crossed to mainline would you slide across onto the mainline 5yr pay point?
