Not at Netjets. The starting salary is fully transparent:
https://www.pilotjobsnetwork.com/jobs/Netjets_Europe
F/Os start with a gross salary of 58,500 EUR per year. In the 3rd year they jump immediately to 66,300 EUR. Should you be unlucky and still be on the right seat after 10 years, you'll get promoted to Senior F/O and earn a new basic salary of 79,700 EUR per year. When you upgrade, your new salary will be 107,000 EUR. After two years, you'll jump to 114,850 EUR.
Important: Each year all salaries
automatically increase by the EU28 inflation index of the previous year, this can be something between 0.7% and 3.x%, this year it might be a bit more. That's why we do
not have static salary tables, but only starting salaries by rank. For technical or layout reasons, the tables at PPJN are a bit misleading. The starting salaries for each step are accurate, but all further years up the same rank are not, because nobody knows what the inflation correction will be during those years.
On top of your basic salary you will still earn a bonus that is based on block hours per year. Depending on your fleet and how many hours you fly, this can go beyond 30,000 EUR, in the future it will be even more. I'd say that the average pilot will get something between 15,000 and 25,000 EUR extra per year.
