I do believe Tollerton were offering a 12000 a year retainer with £20 an hour flight pay. Cambridge were offering 18000 a year salary.
I'm lost?
I was under the impression FI's were on a very small pay with the way people talk about it on this forum.
I'm trying to put a time/budget plan together
APP at EFT v 0-ATPL at OBA then do a FI and instruct here in the UK.
£12,000pa retainer = £836 per month / £193 per week
And then £20 per flying hour (understanding I'd probably not get paid for ground instruction).
How many hours could I clock per week/month in the Summer? And how many is possible during the winter? I was guessing 15hrs pw (£300) in the summer and possibly down to as little as 5hrs (£100) pw
(or God forbid 'zero') in the winter.
Surley this could pay £7,800 + £2,600 from summer and winter hours respectively and then a retainer of £12,000 pa.
£22,400 ~ £17,000 pa after tax or almost £1,500 in your bank every month for doing something you love while logging a healthy amount of hours on the logbook.
Are we comparing this pay to airline pilots pay or the UK average? ... If my figures are correct I'll be on the next flight to the US to get it done asap.
Thanks
Andrew
