Terms and EndearmentThe forum the beancounters hoped would never happen. Your news on pay, rostering, allowances, extras and negotiations where you work. Let others in the industry make educated choices on where the grass is less brown! Scheduled, charter or contract -
Well current roster shows around 94 block hours per month which equates to some 185 duty hours. Roster typically 5 days on 2 off or 6 on 3 off.
Gross salary £24000 pa plus duty pay which is taxed. Currently that means a take-home of around £1800-1900 a month including duty pay before pension contribution. There are no other allowances when away to cover meals etc.
Company offers loss of licence insurance free plus private medical and paid type rating plus full accom during training. This is subject to a decreasing 3 yr bond.
Supportive cockpit culture and the Dash is great fun to fly.

Well the airline of in which i am a Captain, with its two letter prefic begins with B but there are two airlines at LHR with are G-regs that have prefixes beginning which B
Take home EUR 6500 (left seat 18 yrs with company) No flight pay.
Crazy sign on times and long days (Dutch FTL allows things that are illegal under CAP371 or German labour law) - but only about 550-700 hrs per year - less work in the winter months, makes up somewhat for 0330 sign on or 14hr days in the summer.
RAF FLT LT-21 Years Service. Proffessional (?!?) Aviator Spine level 30.
£3 784.96 Net PCM (including £30 uniform tax relief). Pay is abated by 7% to pay for Final Salary pension (based on 70ths), plus contribution towards cost of travelling to work (13.45 per day for a 120 mile round trip), plus operational allowance (about £12/day-when serving sausage side).
Minus £25 per month mess bill,(don't even use it!), and £35 /month(for 40k cover) loss of license. (contraversial I know this next bit) Minus my immediate pension that I would be getting if having left at sensible age (bugger)(13k per year til 55-then 18 k til 65 then 23k at 65)-the gratuity of 70k tax free.
Flying 650-700 hours / year (complete guess 'cos I don't know what is happening at work with me today-let alone in the next week/month/year!)-flew 70/65 in last 2 months. At least 3500-4000 duty hours per year.
Some really excellent people to work with-but also some complete knobs-old ac-no spares-the longest red and green page list I have ever seen in a 700. No strategic organisation-no concept of operating effectively, on time and within a budget-cost cutting that saves pennies to then have to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds-a company that has lost it's way.
As honest appraisal of the RAF T&C's as I can muster.
Qantas 767 Captain flying 720hrs/yr, take home per month AUD$11300 US$9800 UKP4500. That is after tax, company pension contribution of 9% but does not include meal allowances.
