Agree with you...
gross figures are clear in Norwegian, once you meet them you're going to know everything.
To be told you will get approximately £X after tax and social security payments makes me suspicious
That is entirely dependant of the flight hours and if you worked/chosed , in your days OFF to fly (if I remeber was smthing like 360 euro for FO)..that the sole reason I specified "approx" in the net figures!
If then we speak about taxes this is another story and we need a full day to extrapolate.
Of course in some country you pay more like Italy, and other you pay less like Riga ...but ....if I remember well the law is clear, i will make you the point:
doesn't matter if you pay for example the taxes in Riga and maybe you paying 25% less because then if you are Uk residente, once you come back to UK, you need to pay the difference in your country, if in your country the tax is more, as it is for sure...but many people seems to care less about this matter!
