Interesting post PaulW, thanks. I'm trying to do my figures at the moment based on my current situation. I'm a turboprop SFO at my current company overseas with roughly 1200TT and 800 turbine, my take home at my current company is about £2100 NET. I'm pretty keen on moving back to Blighty, but only for the right deal. Going by your calculations I'd be looking at taking home about £1700 a month give or take? Would you say that's accurate? If so it is a pay cut I'd seriously consider just to get home.
