I myself am a contract LAME as you would call it (are you Ozzie?) and a contract pilot but i find the engineering pays better cause you can work a load of hours in a short space of time.
European Licensed Aircraft Engineers are paid in the region of £30 per hour. So my 14 x 12hr shift = £5020 per shift (14 on 14 off).
Non UK resident = NO TAX.

How is that going to work with the new tax rules coming in that now include travel days as days in country (contrary to past practice)? By my calculations, if you are doing 6 trips a month, that must be a minimum of 12 days in the UK, which is 144 days a year: somewhat adrift of the 91 maximum. Not being confrontational - I'm an expat myself - just curious
Sorry - just following the guidance from a well known tax adviser:
Quote:
UK Residence Rules - A Real Cause for Concern
The rules which govern UK residence were well understood by British expatriates. At their core the current guidelines state that expatriates keeping their visits to the UK at less than 91 days per year are viewed by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) as non-resident.
Other conditions to the guidelines of course apply, but the heart of this rule has provided expatriates with a clear view of what was needed to maintain non-resident status. The guidelines have also provided a framework to those who work or have retired overseas – even if a property has been retained in the UK.
When a review of the Residence and Domicile rules was announced by the UK government in 2002, many were concerned that serious changes would follow. In 2007, the Govenrment finally announced that the review was complete and that, from April 2008, it will ‘introduce changes to the residence rules so that days of arrival in and departure from the UK will count toward establishing residence’. This is a blow for expatriates who will need to ensure they carefully plan any visits back to the UK.
Hi, I'm a Ryan contractor, F/O 850 hrs on type, average 5300 Euros per month. The aim is 850 to 900 hrs per year. Very steady roster 5/4, 1 calender month off and 10 days to allocate. You get your money and a roster, thats it.
For a guy just passed 1100 hrs total thats pretty good I think. Good collegues here too!
How's Sterling? Money, roster, leave? Billund base?
as a contractor they rarely pay taxes...but the question is if that is avarage 12 months or just the flying months, that is he/she hasn´t had the leave allocated yet!
You think correct (no fly no pay).
The 5300 Euros is based on last 12 months income in total before tax. I had 170 days off and 28 annual leave days and (I think) 6 days sick.
for the ones who still love flying while (recently) getting paid for it: 200H/yr average 220days/yr 5 wx at a time in the Sahara desert or in training (Europe or Canada). Let you have 4 times 1 month vacation... on PC6-Twins-BE190 same pay starting @ 3000€+ gross and net = as long as U dont tell the taxman (more than pushed by our employer BUT Brits cant and other EU residents either...). Am 3 yrs in, s/w from PC6 (arguably our best machine but or/AND SingleP... onto RHS Twin net 4200€ average would get as TRi and/or TC sooner than later 5000+. leaving in an Isl, no tax of course for me. No pension-med-anything but you r allowed to live anywhere but Antartica! No kidding. When i read the thread am surprised that it compares... Id thought we were getting .

Many young guys looking at the Middle East and India currently
I'm a Jet2 F/O (737) and I got 2150 GBP last month, plus a repayment of 650GBP for my TR bond.
Winter months are a bit lean, as the flying program is greatly reduced in the winter. The 757 chaps do a bit more with longer sectors. In the summer, expect 200 pounds per month more.
take home pay ?i wish
