I can see that it is easier for some of you guys to slag off at other pilots than it is to read all of a post.
I'll try again.
A really rough figure that you can count on taking home after salary sacrificing an A320 endo and PAYE tax is....
$45,000 per annum, or
$3,750 per month, or
$1,730 per fortnight, or
$865 per week.
After tax very rough after tax very rough after tax very rough after tax (for those who don't read all of a post before launching into their answer).
Something to also think about before you stampede into paying for your A320......
More than one pilot has jumped through the hoops of Jetstar recruitment, resigned their old job, passed and paid for the psych, flew to and supported themselves in Brisbane for 5 weeks with no income, passed the Alteon type rating but FAILED the Jetstar assessment.
Out on the street, old job gone, 5 weeks of accommodation to pay for, and a $34,000 bill from Alteon that needs to be paid, for an aeroplane that no other australian operator will hire you on. You might, MIGHT be able to go overseas and mitigate your expense.
What a great way to treat people.
Be better off buying a lawnmowing franchise. You would make better money and you would at least get the chance to do the job, earn some money to pay back the bank or have something to sell if you didn't like it........
