Possibly, depends on how much you fly. If you work max hours and sell some off days you can probably earn that year 1.

the previous monthly average was basic 5000GBP 40K km per month so that would be approx ~4700GBP and 30 sectors so ~2000GBP

so 140k gross for a year 1 captain and 5000 increase in base every 1000 hours in the operation. (It stops at 5000-10000 hours)

the money keeps going up but people keep leaving because the job is still crap in most respects.

Very low stability in rosters with many changes, they’ll expect you to go into discretion and you’ll spend your nights flying TLV, SSH, AMM return sectors on 14 hour days.

if you’re in the UK, go to J2or EZ over WUK.
