Welcome to QF.
Things like after tax pay and allowances are probably best left to a quiet chat with colleagues in the back galley.
Also I am not LHR based so couldn't give accurate amount.
Am I enjoying “the job”? After more than 25 years…hell yes.
Did it live up to my expectations? Yes and no. It has changed a lot in those times and I have had to learn to role with the punches/changes. But the fun I have had on board, in slip ports and at home have made up for it.
Enjoy
