I recall it was 12k a year ago but I stand to be corrected.
Come on, I just explained it a day before:

You also asked about money - over the last 12 months, with the new salary scheme in force, I think I averaged ~€3k net (some months it was almost 4, but never less than 2500), as a bonded SFO. As a cadet I would expect a figure closer to 2k, unless you go on random roster/floating/volunteer a lot for out of base.
