CHC Netherlands

Training bond for 5 years / 80 000€ (AW139)

All salaries before tax:

Entry salary first officer: 5000€
Entry salary senior first officer (after about 1-2 years): 6400€
Entry salary captain (after about 5 years): 8600€
Exit salary captain: 12 000€ (20+ years in the biz)

Tax in the Netherlands is about 40% over the whole salary, roughly speaking. Google it if you want it exact.

Add to this a vacation salary of about 75% of a months salary per year.

For expats a special tax applies which is about 25% instead of 40%. Some things regarding the pension is slightly less favourable with this option.

A basic pension on top of the salary is also saved via the government/union, roughly 10% of your netto salary. This should be taken into consideration if comparing to a "tax free - pension free salary".

I didnt calculate this to the cent so consider it a rough estimate.

The 3 salaries are from the 2012 CLA though, so they are solid and no secret.

Generally no way to get a direct entry captain position, best you can hope for is SFO. Seniority list applies.
