I assume you'd be clearing about 10-11k a month.
How much duty per month/annum or stick per year?
$15k in allowances is about right. Single day trip allowances are taxed, multi day trips tax free. Depending on what sort of flying you do, I'd work on about half of the $15k being tax free. It's not shown separately on our group certificates anymore so hard to work out a yearly amount without adding up individual payslips.
Minimum 10 days per 28 at home, but if you're at the top of the bidding rotation and doing high density flying you can be home for closer to 18/28 and only work 9-10 as Keg said. You can also elect to work on those extra days off for extra $
$10k clear/month is about right for 1st year F/O, can give more accurate numbers if you need them from the EBA.
I've averaged a little under 800hrs stick a year in the past 5 years.
