Pilots salary 1992

[arthur harbrow]

Could any ex captains/first officers give me a rough estimate of a pilots salary for 1992.
I realise there would be variations but the figures i am looking for are from a small operator, Suckling Airways say to British Airways and anything in between.
This is for a school project for my grandson.Thank you in advance.

Just take whatever they're on now - and add a bit.

BALPA used to publish comparative salary tables; maybe they still do. It's possible that they have some archived information although I wouldn't bank on it. Drop them a line.

In 1989 the turboprop operators such as Channel Express were paying 15k and charter airlines such as Monarch were paying 24k for a junior FO. It didn’t go up much from that . Monarch had annual increments of a few hundred pounds and then adjusted for inflation.

In 1992 I used to take home about £1,500 a month as a first officer on a wide bodied long haul airliner for a certain well known company. My girlfriend was a stewardess for the same company and frequently took home more than I did although her basic was much less. Allowances made up a substantial part of a stewardess's salary and certain routes, ie Tokyo had substantial allowances.

At the risk of seeming old-fashioned, may I politely suggest that, since it is the OP's grandson's school project, then surely the grandson should be doing the homework and writing any letters himself.

Thanks for all your answers, most kind.

Jack, well, i could suggest that to him, but i am not sure he has actually written a letter in his life time.
He asked me if i could find out some information as he knows i like aviation, in fact he finds it very amusing that now i am retired i spend a couple of days a week at airports photographing aircraft.
Daniel thinks my time would be better spent on minecraft? and fifa?.

Arthur; I am also old-fashioned and have to agree with Union Jack. I don't know how old your grandson is, but at some stage he needs to learn that literacy is a useful skill.
