Plus about 3k pa duty pay...before tax! I suspect actual take home is about 1800/1900...unless you're doing more hours than I am...which I doubt!
Current newbie salary is a shade over £26K basic, which at present is a take home of around £1800pm, but with added extras I am consistently taking home £2000 - £2100pm. Not exactly busting a gut with the flying at the mo either.
All in all, a very pleasant situation. You'll spot me easy enough - I'm the one with the big, satisfied grin on my ugly mug.
I have heard that they are planning to reduce the starting pay for future newbies, and changing the bonding arrangements which I think is all a bit of a pity, but given the massive numbers of applicants it is still a buyers' market at Flybe.
