I did a FCO there and back not long ago and the Captain had been force drafted. He happily told us that he was getting a GRAND for 8 hours work.
Either he lied or Galley FM picked a figure and doubled it.
500 quid if was lucky, before tax. He's only be paid for the flying not duty. Draft is 1.5 x hourly rate which is basically pensionable salary /1043. He'd have to have been on over 250000 for that to work for a 5hr rome. And he must have been skiing at the local dry slopes too!
How much is your day off worth?
