Many variables in take home so hard to give a definitive answer.
First year at BA I was clearing around £5k a month.
Second year I have picked up a fair amount of overtime and with the increases throughout the year £6k after tax has been pretty much every month with some months closer to £7k after tax.
LH unsure on take home I will let someone else fill that gap in.
WOW! All i can say is this post highlights the "progressive" nature of UK tax system.
I'm paypoint 23 (of 24) shorthaul Captain (full time) and my take home after tax over the last 12 months has been minimum 7700 and max 8800.
That a paypoint 1 first officer can make close to 7000 after tax shows how truly shafted by the UK tax system us "high" earners are!
