From
pressman :-
Eh , Guys . I don't know why you are all talking about 45K , captains earn far in excess of that
Maybe, in a "good" year, but what about the past 12 months or so ? Volcanic ash clouds, extensive ATC industrial action in Spain and France, plus snow closures over the winter etc. All of which can make a big dent in your take home pay.
And what about if you had the misfortune to have a medical problem ? Could be months on basic pay (I know of one Capt that has been on sick leave for a year).
The point is that a
Basic Pay of £45,000 is way too low ......
