hi, to answer your question with regard to our salary...yes it greatly depends on your monthly allowances, in LGW i am taking home an average of 900 pounds in allowances every month this summer - we are very busy at the moment -on top of my basic salary, without rest day working, sick days or leave... so itīs about 1700 pounds in my payslip. Back in may i used to take home 6-700 quid in allowances alone. It does not always matter if it is long haul or short haul..a three day Houston for example can trigger less allowances than a three day trip in Europe. Our bidding system is quite articulate as it is for Eurofleet, it will be explained during training but above all, you learn how it works while you use it, your average satisfaction is 60% and it depends on your seniority, on day one of your flying career itīs unlikely to get a 5 day trip to Barbados....but it can happen on your second month ..like it happened to me...so itīs also luck! Hope it helps!
