James Brown:
As already mentioned you have the £ vs € being the main reason for the difference in pay but do not forget:
That some countries pay their tax once or twice a year and not monthly like in the UK hence you have a high payout of which you have to save 20-25% to pay the tax office later in the year. You also forget that these guys abroad do not get pension contribution by the company like in the UK. So if we take the pension contribution into it and add that to the UK capt's monthly salary (about £550) it will be a different story I would Imagine!?
