From pay thread here in same forum:
VA FO 1st year £72K basic, £16K fixed flight pay and about £12K variable allowances.
In BA I think FOs start around £60K and tops out at £130 ish plus extras.
KLM €185K? AF similar? Even EasyJet FOs, so short haul FOs, on EU contracts should be able to reach almost €100K if not upgraded before.

The 72k basic at VA includes the fixed pay. Additional pay is about £6k a year paid on to a special card supposiably used for down Route spending.
Year 1 BA FO is about 60k with another 12 to 15 added on.
