What kind of life would one lead on £2800? A decent, clean one bedroom place, enough to eat, a used car? or would it be reasonably more or a lot less comfortable?
How does tatties, neaps and haggis sound? You only get the haggis in season if you can shoot straight.

Surviving in Aberdeen on less than 1k a month.
Not ideal, but can be done.

Don't see a problem with 2.8k a month available

Fantastic replies, all!

I'll continue to pursue this as one of my options, hopefully if it works out I won't be displacing a local unemployed pilot.

So do you have Commonwealth citizenship?

If you do not, (and are not a European citizen) you cannot get a work permit.
UK companies can be fined big money for hiring non-europeans that have no right to work here. Much the same as your US green card system I guess. You could get all the licenses and qualifications but it wouldn't change your nationality and therefore employment status.
