Just had a new pay deal voted in at KLMuk.
starting pay for a direct entry jet f/o (f100 146 737) is £33369, for turboprop f/o its £22976. You get paid allowances which average about £5000 per year, i am a year 5 f/o based at STN and take home average £2500 per month, AMS based f/o will get about £3400 but pays for his own accom in AMS.
As for days off we have just been awarded a further 18 days off per year
If you are asked to operate additional sectors on the day you get £75 per sector as a captain and £50 as an f/o.
If asked to work a day off a payment of £300 for a captain or £200 for an f/o a day is given as well as the day off given back on a future roster. You do have the option to refuse to work a day off.
Moral has been low over the past year, however i think that things are starting to move foward for the better. we have lost a few pilots to ryan but only 2 to EZ as far as i am aware. Most who have left went to Virgin or BA.
Training is exellent and a great bunch of guys and girls to work with!
