1. On an average month these lads and lassies are earning about 2.5k-3.5k after tax. A lot of these guys who are moaning as they are working hard are taking home 4.5k after tax!!!
They do NOT.
2. They are getting permanent contracts after 2 seasons, if based in Europe the F/O salaries are almost on par with UK captain’s salary (which is upsetting the UK skippers at the min, understandably so)!
Let's put this one to rest right away shall we. European contracts were issued when the pound was much higher than it is now. This explains almost all the difference in pay. Sure, if I converted my salary to pounds it would almost equate to a UK captain's salary. But I don't spend in pounds. I don't live in the UK. I'm sure no one will complain when the pound creeps back up. Then we'll see the brits which have invaded Paris applying to go back to the uk.
I'm starting to be really pissed off about what appears to be pure jealousy
