US vs Euro Wages
True regarding gross vs net salaries, tax status can dramatically alter the financial picture.
Nevertheless, I`ve consistently found US wages weaker than their European counterparts and therefore Pro Pilot survey to be unhelpful. Mid-size, Lear 60 I would have said would be closer to 8-10 gross.
Laundry- If your trip exceeds a reasonably sized bag`s capacity, the company should pay. That would run about 5 days imo. Of course the difficulty might be finding 24 hours to turn it around!
Internet- Build it into the per-diem or pay it with the room. Such a small expense to keep pilots in touch with home, especially on long range aircraft. By my estimate 0.03% of an annual budget at the top end.
Personally, I`ve yet to work for a company that didn`t require me to access the internet frequently on my trips.
