13th month is an Asian thing and only HK based employees receive it.
On top of the figure at airline pilot central you get....
-$4.50USD/hour of duty
-Allowances based on time at layover hotel (meals/laundry/overnight). On most 2 trip months I receive a little over $1000 for the month.
-15.5% of your base salary in lieu of p-fund contribution (If you take that option)
The profit share for 2006 really wasn't a profit share, it was a "gift" for the 60th anniversary of the airline. It was given to all pilots regardless of length of service.
All told, after US with holding tax, on first year pay with the 15.5%, I take home roughly 5500USD plus a variable amount in allowances.
Mayday
