You forgot sector pay which currently has no tax (RYR contract Captains and F/O's)
BRK pilots on 800 hours per year (Prior to new hires) earn €5000 per month averaged over 12 months.
Many BRK pilots have their own tax situation under control, new hires must conform to Brookfields T & C's.
I was speaking to a few BRK pilots recently all had obtained tax relief on several items as they work on self employed tax status, and expect to pay between £3500-£5000 tax for past year, plus accountancy fees (Tax deductable)
Contract change yes, in all companies and base moves when promoted are common as the vacancies are not always at your current home base.
Be thankfull in this current economic climate that RYR are recruiting, more pilot lay offs are being announced weekly, Monarch, BA, Virgin.
Do you think an average of €60000 per annum is a poor salary, look at Flybe, DHL Air who pay between €28-32500 per annum, both plus flight pay, averaging €250-500 per month for 10.5 months the remainder is leave.
