It's 5300

Thats from a skipper at a small base I spoke to.
That's not 40% of my EK salary - but I agree it's a chunk less when you consider that you have to pay for your house and utility bills. Then again you will be living in the countryside with fresh air and no E311 and Meydan-style camps/compounds.
I guess there'll be lots of thinking to be done by some EK skippers over the next few months.
