I didn't specify Jet2, I said any half decent jet operator in the UK
And I didn't specify year 1. Anybody coming to EK will have at least a few years experience behind them. A mate at EZY starting his second year as FO clears 4K. Someone in TUI UK with reasonable seniority clears 4.5 - 5k on average, without working any days off.
So my point remains valid. The only difference between a UK Jet FO salary
with a half decent operator, and some reasonable seniority, and an EK FO is the accommodation allowance (and hopefully some profit share).
No dog in this fight but since profit share was discussed - from May ‘08 to May ‘18 EK pilots have EARNED 51 weeks of profit share.
I don’t expect much over target next year 4.5bn - if at all.
