One from the other side of the tracks.
Twin-turbine GA work. UK based, worldwide ops -- often spend months deployed; it's not transportation/commuter type work. 4 years in.
I take home 2250 USD (1670 €) per month, after taxes. No sector pay, no duty pay. I get ~15 USD per day when deployed overseas. Client also pays a meal allowance and takes care of accom.
No payscale, no year-on-year increments. No pension, medical, loss-of-licence, nothing.
Newbies be warned; you will either need luck at getting a 'proper job' right off the bat, plenty of moulah to pay for your line training/first contract (judging by other threads) or a great deal of resolve in patiently waiting at the lower end of GA for things to open up. Aviation has never been a money-spinner except for a lucky few, but certainly never less so than now.
