And then there are the costs of accommodating yourself in Amsterdam or Stockholm whilst you do the training plus flights etc. Then you are more than likely going to be put somewhere like Stansted or Prestwick for line training. The length of this is all subject to demand and the availability of training captains. Then you will be sent off to your base. I know for EU guys from further afield that they find the costs of living in places like the UK and Ireland horrendous. A cheap B&B at even £20-30 a night soon adds up and leaves no change from your monthly salary. The stories of FR pilots living in cars might be true afterall eh?
