Hi there.

The pay can be broken down as follows:

Basic Pay year 1 is €60k euros. After tax and pension contributions this is €38k per annum. This gives a take home of €3160 per month

Sector pay works out on average at €800 net per month.

We also have something called performance pay. Every hour flown over 620 hours in a year, running from October to October, qualifies for performance pay. The hourly rate for FOs is €67. So if you fly 830 hours, you will be paid 210*67=14070 gross. This gives approx €6600 net paid in December. There is also a monthly threshold of 66 hours if you do not make the yearly threshold.

If you choose to bid for overnights then you receive approx €100 net per night away.

You will contribute 11% to the pension while the company contributes 21%.

People do commute from Europe but on a 5:3 pattern but it will be difficult. Time to the 330 is running around 2-2.5 years, which makes commuting very easy. When the Neos arrive next year there will be Atlantic trips on the short haul network.

I hope this helps!
