I could quote my payscale + Hourly Duty Pay + Housing but that isn't my salary. You try going into a bank for a home loan and see what the response will be if you try that one over them. They are only interested in your payscale. Period.
For the record your payscale is contractual, ie the company must pay you this per month.
Hourly duty pay is subject to how much flying you do per month. On quiet months, leave or sick leave you get less or no HDP.
HPA is subject to company policy. In other words the company can give-ith and take-ith at its own discretion and there is nothing you can do about it.
The only reason the company is quoting these missleading figures is they are desperate. Your real payscale doesn't include HDP or HPA. Period.
