Take home
Curry monster,
The take-home works about at around £1670-1850 depending upon how much flying (i.e. flight pay) you get in the month and assuming you don't take the pension.
It's not great to be honest if like me you have wife, child, mortgage etc but is pretty good if you're 21!
There's a significant rise to £27780 or summat from year 2 and of course the time to command has traditionally been quite quick at which point the salary becomes quite good.
Good luck to all of you - I'm loving it!!
