Some people in Ryanair have a seriously long month, work days off and get numerous day off payments etc etc, get paid their absolute maximum for a month and then come on pprune and imply this is there ‘average’ monthly net.
I don't know about that. What SD and Normal Pilot say about pay at FR seems about right to me.
An ordinary line Captain on the current standard contract at FR takes home an average of £6k plus £1k for their pension. The HMRC tax calculator says that is the equivalent of a normal world gross salary of £130k. It might not match Easyjet etc for take home pay or benefits, but there it is.
Nobody is waving willys.
