Turkish B777 Captain pay around 21000 / month , turkish lira.
Using todays currency rates that equals
£5400 €7440

There is a 5% nominal tax rate.

So, possibly the industrys lowest pay for type rated 777 pilots ?

A few years ago it was divide by 2.5 to the £. Today its around 4. Go figure
Money isn't everything.

Paid accomodation, nice roster, commuting contract and 3hrs from western Europe with tickets paid home with plenty of block days off is not a too shabby deal.

Of course you could make a few grand more in the sandpit with back to back long haul, your normal off days being considered as annual leave and being 8hrs away from home with difficulties getting on the plane on a standby-ticket due to the huge amount of foreigners trying to commute.

The 737 gig however, is a different story.
