Again that would depend on your income. Up to year 5 f/o (IIRC) you are looking at 20% tax.
B777, your calculations are correct.
As towser said. Most of the f/o's have started straight from flying school. At present more and more are hitting the 2500hrs mark and going to senior f/o. (3 stripe & doesn't purely depend on hrs) Surely some will be considered for command with these 2 new E190's coming.
gilbertmchris. You are right in stating that most new f/o's should (and are as well) very glad with this job. It's a great experience, initially with the RJ and now the E-Jet, going into an airport like LCY daily. If you're straight out of flight school, or coming from a turboprop to this than it's a really good step forward and a great job. But I think that someone with more exprience on jets at bigger airlines in particular would think twice.
