Am I right in thinking that a BA Longhaul Capt get's nearly £1500 - £2000 more than a Virgin Skipper per month?

BA 777 F/O 2nd Year
After tax and minimum contribution to money purchase pension,
£3260, £3300, £2790 (due leave), £3410
Average 5 trips a month, approx 850 hrs/yr.
4 weeks leave and 2 weeks duty free, effectively 6 weeks off a year.
Guys getting command on 777 now been in approx 17 years.
Previous job as F/O in UK, better paid and much better quality of life, though the guys further up the pecking order in BA tell me things get a lot better as seniority picks up

Great thread - looks like im the lowest paid and i thought people flying jets had better pay packets! 
I'd like to cut across you right there. You and I look to have about the same takehome pay. I'm flying the line, you're in training. I didn't get paid at all in training. I claim victory on the basis of being the lowest-paid flying pilot on the board, provided I'm not too lost on the USD - Pound conversion.
Heh, sorry. There's not a whole lot else to be proud of at this job...

Private pilot doing 600-800 hours a year in a 172 Grossing £3,000 per week in the photo business + loving it these last 10 years.
Apart from the money, you probably still love flying as well! 
Oh yeah, in case it hasn't been mentioned: EZY SFO: netto roughly £3300,-/month which includes £400,- repayment of type rating costs (TRSS) and 7% additional contribution towards pension.

rduarte,
Yes, as Sir Richard Branson described it, if you go fishing, the fish you catch in your net and haul on board is what you actually take home(net)....The fish that escaped your net whilst pulling them in, the FAT TAX MAN ate!(gross)

Sick as a parrot
Being a non-pilot (but a desparate wannabe) I take home approx £1650 per month (paid weekly) as a lorry driver, duty hours are 51 a week but work only for about 45, the benefits of job and knock.
Could always be more but I refuse to do overtime for the barstewards that I work for.
Hey could be worse... I could be flying for Ryanair.
