You start on £30,000 as an SSP cadet. You earn about another £10,000 in flying allowances. So about £40K intotal, after tax about £30K.
Pilots into BA get recruited via the SSP (Self Sponsored Pilot) route or the DEP (Direct Entry Pilot - eg pilots frorm other airlines / military) route.
DEPs get paid more as they have more experience. They start on £45,000.
No, "Base Training" is the term given to the training required for your type rating to go on your license. The training involves a minimum of 6 landings on type for your first type rating. Normally these are done as 6 "touch & gos". 6 is the minimum. If you are gash and do poorly you will have to do more until the examiner is happy. I have heard of someone doing it in 24!
If its not your 1st TR then all you have to do is Zero Flight Training (ZFT) which is a couple of circuits in a simulator.
Line training is your first 40 sectors flown with passengers and a training captain. After this you do a line check and if pass you are then a fully qualified FO flying on the fleet like any other pilot. If you fail, the airline gives you more sectors with a training captain until you reach the standard required. A sector is one leg of a route, eg LHR to EDI
Very nice landing for a first in the real world! How come the speed brakes weren't deployed? Or were they, but just couldn't see from where you were sat. :)
It was actually a touch and go. Everyone's first landing on a jet will be touch and go during "base training". The speedbrakes are stowed, flaps retracted to 15 and thrust levers increased.

What do you do in base training? I thought it was when you just learned/practised operating your type around the base you're given?
Can someone explain please? :)
