I think we have had this discussion before but forgive me, Snapper and I seem to have worked for completely different companies. Here are the actual facts for anyone joining the company now.
Full time basic £54,500. New joiners will join on 10/13th of that figure till a space opens up on the core fleet of pilots at which point you can choose what proportion you like.
So that's £41,923
Flight pay is £15.22 per block hour. Assume 750 a year (I never did more than 650, don't under estimate how quite winter is).
So that's £11,415
Total package is £53,338 which is £3226 after tax!
Day of payments are very generous £474 but you can't rely on them. Crewing are instructed not to use them unless totally nessacary, if Monarch have crewing levels correct you won't get any, summer months you get minimum days off (7 in 28 so the law does not allow you to sell days off), winters are very slow and something has gone badly wrong if crewing need to use DOW. I used to get maybe 4 or 5 a year.
Snappers figures don't add up me. His basic plus (800 hours and that is very generous) of flight pay will be £62,483. To Net £50k he would need to make £75k which means he has sold 13k worth of days off which is 28!
