For the first 2 years your salary will be like this. In Germany, social security will be slightly lower at this level of income, one if the online tools produced 982 EUR per month.
Don't forget about the jump in salary after the second year AND that you will get a performance bonus for your block hours flown, plus potential extras for busy tours in summer! You can probably add 15k to 30k per year on that, depending on your fleet.
I donīt count tips, per diem or any other variables as salary - because it isnīt salary. Your bank manager probably wonīt count those variable extras either, when your looking to buy property(s), asking for mortgage(s). That being said, the NJE entry level salary is not any better or worse than most airline entry jobs - so I donīt think thereīs anything to be embarrassed about. Itīs a life style choice to go NJE instead of a boring (relatively) airline FO job.
