Easyjet salaries?

[....]

I have recently thought about applying to Easyjet, probably via the TRSS or maybe on the 737 which I'm flying right now (if there is any space available on 737 bases).
I have been trying to do the math from the salary diagram shown on the website. But still it's hard to figure out what you would end up with net per month? Where do you pay taxes working for them? And is the flight pay tax free?
Can anyone give me some hints on how much you would end up with approximately per month net, on different bases?

My ATPL is not unfrozen yet, but I have more than 500h multicrew on the 737!

Thanks and happy landings

But I think the website is out of date:

Agreement to be effective from 1/4/04 and valid until 1/10/05

Anyone got new info?

If you have more than 500Hrs on the 737 there is absolutely no reason that you should join EZY as a TRSS, dont even think of letting them talk you into it especially as right now they are desperate for pilots.

springbook449,
If I could avoid TRSS, it would be great but it seems like they mostly need people for the airbus.
If you have any other companys looking for 737NG people, please tell me, because the company I'm working right now is paying me a salary I'm not capable of surviving on!

First of all, you do not need to apply to easyJet under TRSS as you are a qualified 737 pilot who will come in as a DEP. Regarding salaries, there is just about to be a vote over a management pay offer which is a radical restructuring of our salaries. I personally will be voting against the offer (as I believe nearly everyone will). However, to give you a feel for what it will mean, if the offer were to go through you will be given a pay deal as follows:

7% company contribution to your pension

Sector pay: £7.80 tax free (£13.00 gross)
You can expect to fly betwen 480 and 560 sectors per year depending where you are based (maybe even a few more in Scotland or Ireland!). On 550 sectors that would be £7150 gross.

Your basic pay would be one of the following:

£33,350 as F1 (frozen ATPL)
£36,765 as F2 (frozen ATPL)
£40,800 as a SF1 (ATPL
£44,990 as a SF2 (ATPL)

I am not sure what grade you would be but would advise you strongly to come as a full ATPL. Hope that helps.

Norman Stanley fletcher,

Thanks for your answer!!

Could you also please tell me what the tax is on the basic pay?
Is that depending on base and what is it approximatly in the UK(or where you are based)?
What are the 737 bases these days?
Does is make a difference whether you join with your ATPL or gain it while flying in Easyjet?

Thanks a lot!

The current UK tax rates are:

First £4895 free

Next £2090 taxed at 10%

Next £30310 taxed at 20 %

After that taxed at 40%

In other words, you can earn £37295 before moving into the highest tax bracket.

As NSF said because you have a 737 on your license you DO NOT have to join as TRSS at EZY, TRSS is for people who dont have an A319 or "equivalent" on their license, it was introduced as a "fail safe" for people for people coming from turbo props in case they failed their type conversion and it very quickly became abused.

[Norman Stanley Fletcher]

.... By the time you join the only 737 bases will be Newcastle, Luton and Belfast. Over the summer Liverpool, Glasgow and Edinburgh will be changing 737s for A319s.

If you join without an ATPL (ie frozen), it is not a problem but you will only be eligibe for the lower pay bands of F1 and F2 rather than those for SF1 & SF2. As soon as you have the hours and do an LPC (standard sim check) you will be upgraded to the higher salary, be called 'Senior First Officer and get a 3rd stripe on your uniform!

The tax rates quoted apply to any of the UK 737 bases.

Hope that helps.

Springbok 449 - how are you? I was wondering how life was treating you in your new found life!

[springbok449]

NSF, life is pretty good at mo, not flying just yet but having a ball...
Nice not to be treated like a kid anymore...

Can anyone explain how the proposed new pay deal outlined above (which I understand has now been rejected) would have worked with the TRSS scheme for SFO's?

I have read through the other thread (99% reject pay deal etc) but wonder what the actual proposal was for TRSS.

cheers,

abra

To Calculate a TRSS salary on any pay scale at EZY, proposed or otherwise, simply deduct £5K from the appropiate rank and pay scale for 5 years and you arrive at your second class citizen salary.

Sector pay is the same fro the same rank wether TRSS or DE.

BUT, DE get paid during training TRSS do not.
TRSS go on the payroll when the complete the last sim ride, but you do get a payslip from them approx one month before that with £0.00 on it!

Mine is framed!

Cheers

[abracadabra]

ED, thanks for your reply.

So under the scheme that was rejected a TRSS SFO would have got £40,800 (-£5000) until first LPC and then £44,990 (-£5000) after it?

Plus, the sector pay goes from £12.86 under the old system to £7.80?

[FlapsOne]

Forget the new system........it was rejected.

TRSS is a 5yr reduction. Unless you are planning 5 yrs between LPCs, you will have done a few by the time the diference is removed!

The main lower band tax rate in the UK is 22% isn't it?

[potkettleblack]

No JW411 has it right for the 2005-2006 tax year. See the attached link and note that the first £4,895 is tax free or to use the HMRC term - personal allowances.

The UK basic rate of tax for 2006-7 is indeed 22%, not 20%, for earnings between £2151 and £33300. There is no 20% tax band.
