Come on guys, let's us know what coin you are earning so the rest of us can get jealous. :} |
NLJ;
Check your PMs. The figures are as accurate as I can get. VH. |
Anything to report yet NLJ ?

Hi all
Nationally speaking what is the standard hourly rate paid for a new FI H. Many thanks. |
Progress Report
To SilsoeSid and everyone else who may be waiting, I'll have something to post by the end of next week.
NLJ |
LPlates,
I think an average hourly rate would be about £35-40 per flying hour i.e. you don't get paid if student doesn't show, or weather's bad, or briefing etc. Cheers Whirls |
"If you prick us, do we not bleed,"
Would someone else PLEASE make the joke so that I'm not expelled. Again.
|
What joke Gerhardt? There's nowt funny about Shylock, The Merchant of Venice and there's equally nowt funny about pilots' salaries! :}
I dunno but, some of them are laughable! Cheers Whirls |
Well, I thought that we may have had some candid responses to NLJs request. You know, of the "yes I earn ££blah blah" sort of thing.
Sadly, there doesn't appear to be any of that. Is it because we're all too embarrassed to admit that what we're earning just isn't good enough? None of us will openly publish because we fear ridicule! Well, that tells its own story. :{ |

Many thanks.. Looking to start my FI course soon. Thought I'd check to see what the going rate is. Lplates |
Good point Big Windy,
How about we put up arbitrary figures and we can say less or more? Police/Hems Captain/Line pilots £48,000 Chief Pilots, £56,000 Corporate Captain/Line pilot £52,000 Chief Pilots, £60,000 Is your salary less or more? Offshore Stop laughing! :( |
Big Windy, I'm sure most of us would say: "You go first, my friend!"
(Having said that, what I earn is between myself and my employer and not for public viewing). |
Does all this make a bit of difference though?
What does it take to get a salary adjustment? Lets say NLJ comes up with a recommended salary for a police line pilot to be say £48K, do we really expect the other forces to increase their pilots salaries? NLJs unit may get a few more applicants for the vacancy so it would only be that units pilots who benefit, the 'new boy' starting on 48K and the ones already there getting an adjusting raise. Once this salary of 48k is known, is there really an effective way for another unit to fight the cause for salary increase against those 'managment heel diggers' who will not be 'held to ransom'? You can hear them now...you don't like it... http://library.thinkquest.org/11922/door_animated.gif There endeth a happy unit! :{ |
Much less than those figures!! More than 10% less!!
|
Just about scrape in to the bottom figure if I add my :mad: MIL pension!

Sid,
In my experience, pilot salaries in particular only increase significantly when no-one will do the job for what is on offer. Myself and at least one other poster here were "burned" by the whims of a certain Chief Constable over direct employment issues. We both walked. The Police have another option - keep the budget the same but make the goal posts wider with regard to minimum experience requirements; that appears to be the preferred option in these days of rampant bean countery. |
I only hope the widening goalposts issue doesn't end up with someone in a report somewhere saying, "I told you so!"
|
Sid,
Sadly, I could already quote one accident where that could easily have been said. A pilot with high ambitions not backed up by sufficient experience. But, I'd better not. :oh: |
Not to do with skids and a run-on landing by any chance?
|
It ran on almost vertically........
