Yes I do understand the difference. And your point is what exactly? There's no point in quoting hourly rates or gross figures when individual pilots are being hit for the EMPLOYERS portion of social security in a country they don't even choose to live and will never benefit from a pension there.
What matters is what people TAKE HOME and yes I do understand that is net before you get your knickers in a twist.
Captains TAKE HOME as little as 3000 euros a month when you consider their own personal operating costs and extra living expenses from having to run another flat and a car at their base.
And yes some first officers will take home little more than 1000 euros during winter months when you look at the overall cost to them too.
