I guess it depends what you're used to. I've earned only investment income since taking redundancy, so anything would be welcome right now. Besides, there are FR FOs on the 'What is your take-home pay at the end of the month?' thread on this site giving amounts of £3600 after tax (2yr FO) and EUR5300 pre-tax (850 hrs, so presumably a yr 1 FO). Granted, we're in leaner times now, but seems a pretty reasonable wage to me!!
