Repeating Dupre’s Post the figure is very accurate. Yes all in you’re potentially looking at over £70k but that very much depends on many factors now that they’ve taken away the fixed flying pay. For instance sickness, multiple reserve periods that aren’t particularly busy, months with leave and/or pre-assignments, they’ll all dent your take home. Plus if you’re looking to buy a property you can forget borrowing against the variable elements of the salary any more (at least not until you’ve been with the company for two years and can produce twelve months of payslips and even then banks will only take into account half of it). So that figure is very relevant despite being seduced by the extras.
