Easyjet Pay

[Right Way Up]

I have seen quite a few comments from Easy f/os quoting take home pay of £2700-2800 a month. I am struggling (as usual!) to work out with even a large amount of sectors the difference between the basic pay and take home pay. Could someone please explain?:confused:

Probably all too busy to reply.

Thanks Engee, but I still do not understand. If your basic is approx 2100 per month (as SFO) and that 420 sectors per year gives you approx £400 per month (assuming 40% tax on 70% of allowances) I cannot get near £2700-2800. Perhaps I have been given the wrong info ref tax on allowances?! :confused:

Don't know how u are working out your figures but when I was SFO over a year ago now:

Over 7 month period average take home was £2858
Lowest was £2626
Best was £3320


Life much more comfy in the LHS !

[Denti]

How many hours or years in the company do you have to fly to become SFO instead of FO?

[Engee73]

You need a full ATPL. thats it.

The extra is allowances for uniforms, nightstops and medical.

Thanks for the replies!

Just a quick question.

Does a £350 per month company contribution, buy much of a pension with Scottish Equitable for a Captain? (Or £215 per month for an SFO?)

I know there are many variables, but can anyone guess the maths for say 20 years of service?

[Tandemrotor]

Nobody prepared to have a stab then?

Oh well, and you Easy people always seem so keen to tell us 'mere mortals' how much you take home.

Roll on retirement at 85, eh!

Hang on for a few more days Tandem Rotor! I've just sent all my pension stuff off to BALPA IFA's to take a look at.

They're going to tell me whether & how to save more!! :confused: :confused:

[Tandemrotor]

I genuinely wish you good luck Scottie.

The point I am trying to make is this: (and to be fair, Easy probably aren't the best example)

There seems to be ever growing numbers of pilots taking enormous glee in saying something along the lines of; "we're cheaper than you, which means we deserve all your routes, and you just deserve to be out of a job."

Surely we should all be trying to push EVERYONE'S remuneration PACKAGE up! Not encouraging this 'Dutch Auction' mentality.

Everyone can be undercut, if we allow it.

Tandemrotor,

I don't think it's too many pilots who are saying things like that!!!!!!

[Tandemrotor]

kriss kross -

You should read a few more threads mate!

Still nobody prepared to hazard a guess?

[kriskross]

Sorry, too busy working to get my outrageous pay!!!

[FlapsOne]

Tandemrotor

Why don't you just ring Scottish Equitable and ask?

Their answer will have a little more credibility than anything else posted here.

[Tandemrotor]

According to the Saturday Telegraph, £350 a month would buy a pension the equivalent of, a lot less than, £10,000 per annum in 20 years time. (£192 per week before tax!)

Hope we don't all get such a 'generous' package!

We should all be trying to ENSURE we don't! Because this kind of thing just might be what makes some pilots seem more expensive than others! Get my drift?

So krisskross, I hope you are spending outrageous amounts of your 'outrageous pay' on additional volountary contributions! If you're lucky, you'll be retired a very long time!

[kriskross]

I'm lucky, Her Majesty is contributing to my retirement plans!!!!

Any staff travel deals for easyJet?
