US based 737 take-home pay
Ex-pat Brit living in the US and flying for a US low-cost airline (AirTran Airways). Just past 3 yrs with the company and now a B-737 Capt taking home on average 8500 USD after taxes, union dues and medical insurance have been taken. (Medical coverage is very steep at our compnay compared to other US carriers but with no NHS, you've got to suck it up!). Also, our company drops an additional 10.5% of your pay into a stock market based retirement account for you.
Gas (petrol) has just topped the $3 mark and they complain about it!!
