So I've been watching these threads with interest. I'd take a significant cut to leave here as an FO, and a massive cut once I get the command. Sadly (for the boss), a few % is nothing like enough to make me even think about applying. Shame, because a few years ago it looked like a good option.
Hi HundredPercentPlease,
in Dec 06 you posted stating you took home 3050 pounds per month at Easyjet. Based on the new payscale, an F/O in EK will get a basic salary of 20840 dhs per month. If you fly 50 hours per month, which i think is realistic, you get an additional 1750 dhs. This gives a total of 22590 dhs per month, which equates to 3137 UK pounds based on an exchange rate of 7.2.
Hope this helps in the decision.
