Dragonair FO, Hong Kong based, Year 2
Take home just over HKD104000 (GBP6600 GBP1 = HKD15.6) including HKD44000 KA give me to pay the mortgage. Overtime over 75 hours at HKD775 (GBP50) for first 5 hours thereafter the rate doubles to HKD1550 (GBP100) per hour.
Company don't like overtime so average 75 hours a month!
Travel allowance to/from work HKD2000 = GBP128 a month.
Free medical/dental for whole family but medical scheme is full of holes.
Travel fund for me is around HKD147000 a year = GBP9423
Chinese New Year bonus is one extra months salary (1/3 year 1, 2/3 year 2, full month year 3) guaranteed.
15% of salary gratuity paid at end of year 3 backdated, thereafter 15% annually. So for an FO it's around HKD320000 (GBP20512) paid on your 3rd anniversary in the company - if you make Captain by then add GBP10,000.
Profit share from our owners at CX? who knows.
Tax around the 16% mark off the above depending on status/children etc.
10 7 day periods of leave a year which may be combined to give 2/3/4 weeks off at a time if you need it.
Work less than I previously did as a low cost captain on 737s and now have a life. No payrise for 6 years here now though plus the pollution issue and increasing time to command means many FOs will leave after their first 3 years is up or transfer back to Europe on the 747-400.
