Boeing 7E7
I am not prickly.
I see your point that in order to earn more at AMM, you must go touring every month and not be at your base.
And then you spend the extra money on food and drink anyway, so I can see that you are not better off really.
To include ABA allowances whilst talking about charter life, where you are based at one airfield is a little confusing.
If you were MAN or LGW based on your 757 or 320 fleet, I suspect you would be working at main base nearly all the time, so you would not earn the extra you talk about.
Our payscales are identical to yours to nearly the penny, so I think a realistic charter take home figure is approx £3000 per month.
Good luck with your summer, see you in the middle of the night in Turkey I imagine
