captain/first officer salary spread

[bounce'em all]

Ladies & Gentlemen,

I hope this has not been discussed to death elsewhere before (if so, please point me to it), but I'm quite interested in understanding how much less your outfit pays FOs compared to CPTs.
Mine, south european regional company, allows FOs not more than 60% of Cpt basic salary. Extra hours, summer allowances are even lower, almost half as much. Basically, a 1st year Cpt making € 6000 pretty much corresponds to a 1st year FO raking up € 3600.
During summer months, for effect of the higher allowances, while Cpts are making, say € 7200, FOs (same role seniority) barely put together € 4100. Working the exact same hours that is....
I'll truly appreciate your inputs. And I'll obviously bear with your comments.
Thanks

south european regional, I would have guessed you're talking about air nostrum?.. but according to the salaries, this can't be that. Maybe Air Dolomiti then. :)

Standard in OZ is 65%

East EU - 70% (+/- 5% seniority in the company)

. . . But it had also been mentioned somewhere, that at an outfit called Atlanta, a 500-Cessna-hours Icelander B747 F/O would earn more than a 20,000-hours non Icelander B747 contractor captain. :eek:

Here F/O make 78% of Captain on basic pay. Everything else on the same proportion except per diems which are the same, obviously.

Thanks all, I really appreciate your straightforward posts.
Fly4fun, may I ask where "here" is ? US, Europe, UK, Oz....

Basic pay, flt. hour pay, and sector pay: CP = FO x 1,4

Per diems (in fact "foreign travel expenses" viewed by inland revenue office and non-taxed) are the same for all crewmembers from CA 2R to TRE up front.

Yes, you can Bounce, its Europe. :ok:

Although don't be impressed with the proportions. On a busy month a Captain take home after taxes around €6,200 and a F/O €4,800. Those figures are for a 6ft year Captain and F/O flying widebody. More, recently they came with a proposal to reduce the F/O pay in order to increase Captains pay that, of course, we refused.

Happy landings :ok:
