It's been almost 2 years since I pulled the plug on my 15 year expat career to join Wizz at home.
I enjoy it 100%!
Average salary after tax (Captain) is 4500 EUR for 22-24 sectors (guess my base).
13-14 DO, almost unheard at my previous A340 job.
Every single leave and DO request granted!
Called from STBY 4 times, on a DO -2 times (1 sector reward each time).
Flying in Europe not over a
Big Ocean.
Less than 1/2 dozen ATL inputs. This is what I call maintenance! One of the youngest fleets around.
All of the above since I joined in Aug'10.
Eh, I do not have 2 mortgages to pay and I saved enough money to see my 2 sons through uni (of course not in the USA). Even got some leftovers for Big Boyz Toyz...
