Can someone please tell me what the competitive minima are for dec ?


I have a permanent french contract, on a twelve month basis, I get 6000€ monthly of which 1500 goes in tax fumes .


If I landed the job would the move be worth it ?


I quite much like the UK and especially london as a cosmopolitan city, but I prefer to avoid the tons heavy british tax system.


As a captain what do you take home in and outside of the UK ?


My dear colleagues please provide us with relevant after tax info, as this is a capital part of the decision process .


How do you become a ltc in easy ?


Many thanks in advance and happy landings to you all.


Cheers.

Hi again, can someone answer those questions please ?

Especially the ones regarding salary and tax.

Very nice flights everybody.

Thanks.

Haha!! No London Base, just seems to always work out that way. Checked my Logbook program and never seem to go above 70 hours apart from the odd month where it goes up to 80.

Maybe I am sh@gging the right people

papyjo I dont think you will get answers to all those questions here, they are questions really that can only be answered at interview and to a very select few that have done all you ask..! good luck though.

Not a Captain myself but believe the take home is somewhere between 4100-4500 after tax in the UK. French pilots get tax relief, again no idea on the specifics.

DEC requirements are drying up apparently, I should imagine they will be looking for more Airbus command time than you have. All the guys that have come in DEC Airbus have 6-7 years airbus command.

Big wait for Orly Transfer for command and as F/O apparently, but getting a new A/C soon. I should imagine you wont be an SFO for more than 6 months if you did join Direct entry FO

Thank you TRon,

I think that in this case, I would prefer joining emirates as an FO rather than easyjet.

I heard that for those joining at the moment, command route was not longer than 3 to 4 years depending on fleets.

I hope your command will be in 07.

Happy landings.

That is still valid! With enough hours even faster!
The 6-7 years TRON mentioned, described the previous experince of DEC joining EZY.

Kraut, sorry my friend I misled you, I meant emirates not easyjet, concerning command route length.
