Terms and EndearmentThe forum the bean counters hoped would never happen. Your news on pay, rostering, allowances, extras and negotiations where you work - scheduled, charter or contract.
Flying for a belgian airline, medium haul jet, First Officer, I get about 2900 euros per month, after tax. It's per diem included. Other benefits are reduced fare ticket on the company, as well as ZED ticket + ID on interline. Plus interesting pension fund, loss of licence, insurance for my family in case of death. I should talk about the pretty good atmosphere in the cockpit and with the cabin crew, good meals we receive on board, usually nice hotels for night stop.

Starbear, I think £3600 - £4000 take home is reasonable for a year 1 FO given the low taxation rates on generous allowances many airlines offer, especially if longhaul.
First year, first officer, turboprop in Norway, take home about NOK 20k-25k (about £2200 or so). 7on-7off-7on-14off. Travel costs not included, but free accomodation at the base. LOL, pension, travel insurance, etc included.
Guys; I started the thread last year...what's wrong with that one??
Anyway, the point of it is to tell us WHO you fly for and how much you take home so as to gauge the possibilities of working for them one day (or not).
There is little point in saying "a large carrier" or any other anonymous comment because it doesn't tell the reader much and could just be seen as pointless bluster or boast.
Come clean or don't bother because there is no point in giving half-information.
Skiptoit, you mention that we should expose which airline we fly for in the very first post and then you only say "a large UK turbo prop operator". Come on.
