Monarch man , nicely summed up !
Station calling , 50k take home is pretty normal? Get taxed around 2k a month , basic is 58000 , add around 12k for flight pay - 70k then other bits ( voyage etc... ) 73k , 24k off for tax = 49k that's excluding any day off payments which can increase pay hugely .
In October I managed to somehow get 3 in a month roughly an extra 1200 (after tax ) , think it was £5200 that month !
Please don't think I'm trying to willy wave , just saying the facts , all true
You can find the pay on pilot jobs network you will see that it adds up
