A short update to those unaware of have the FR flightpay(sectorpay) works.. It is different from base to base whether it is in mainland Europe, Irland or UK.
In the UK there are 4 different pays
0- 3.5 blockhours = £45
3.5 - 5 blockhours = £80
5 - 7 blockhours = £130
7+ blockhours = £185
This is all after tax for a days work depending on how many blockhours you are SCHEDULED to do. It doesn`t matter how many duty hours you do it is only scheduled block hours that counts.
When this agreement was reached 5 years ago you would normally be doing 5.5 hours days to long days of 7.5 hours. But after MOL predicted the "bloodbath" this all changed. Not what you are beeing pay because the agreement is still the same. But the way rostering is done.
It is today the norm to do a 6 hours 50 min or 6 hours 55 min days. Or if you finally do a more than 7 hours day it is usually between 8 - 9 hours 30 min for the longest day.
The 6 hours 55 min days could be a 4 sector day where you do 2 sectors of 2 hours 5 min, Treviso the last to to Poiters in france are 1 hour 30 min down there and strangely only 1 hour 15 back. The flighttime on the way back from Poiters is mostly between 1. 15 and 1.20 so we WILL be late but FR has just save 2 times £55.
On some sectors they have even changed turnaround time from normal 25 min to 30 min. And then taken 5 min of the blocktime so it will be a 6.55 day instead of a 7 hour day, thus saving money
Over a month this means that compared to before the "bloodbath" we are working atleast 1 hour more FOR FREE per day.
Average sector pay is about £22 per hours. With about 15 working days a month you are working 15 hours for FREE or taking home £22 times 15= £330 LESS than before A MONTH or £3960 less a year AFTER TAX
FR has offered there pilots a 3% payincrease on there BASIC PAY. Which for a first officer on £28000 a year is £840 or £70 per months BEFORE tax. But you are taking home £330 less per months on your flightpay which for a SFO is more than half your take home pay.
Hope there is not to many numbers in here. But FR pilots have taken a HUGE paycut over the last year allthough MOL will off course tell you otherwise
