Oh, don't get me wrong, now its here I love reading it, but I won't post my salary on here because its my business and no one else's. Generally asking what someone's salary is is a big social faux pas isn't it?

US Based Mechanic for Major Airline
Line Maint. Tech, (Aircraft Maint Engineer to most other countries)
I work midnights, 9:30pm till 7:30am with middle of the week days off. Been at said job 6.5 years and finally making decent money. $40.20 USD per hour or $6432 USD per month.
Pre-tax for 2007 exceeded $102,000+ USD with a little overtime. Twelve Floating Holidays a year and three weeks vacation.
No pension but company matched 401K retirement plan, company matches dollar for dollar up to 7.3%. We have a Profit sharing plan as well, which to date is at $33,754.23 USD for the 6.5 years I've been here. This can only be invested much like our 401K retirement.
ZED's on several major carriers and ID90's on many other airlines.
Free unlimited (Space A) passes for myself, wife+kids and parents with my airline.

Aer Arann FO, Year 1
Average Take Home per month : EUR 3300
Expect more in summer, less in winter
Edit- Sector/Duty Pay to increase from 01/08. A quick glance suggests approx. an extra EUR 240 per month for an average month (70 hours)

KLM
December a great month for KLM pilots as we get a 13th paycheck, got to love this company. Pre-tax for December 2007 just over Euros 18K/Sterling 13K after 14 years totaal on the job, now left seat 737. What with ability to work 80%, 67% or even 50% on the 737 fleet, parental leave, partner travel (same-sex non-rev privileges due liberal Dutch society), jumpseat free to/from home to some tax-friendly country of your choice and you get - I think - the best airline to work for in Europe. Plus we're expanding and (will) need pilots beyond our limited national ability to provide, so perhaps a set of blond clogs under your bed is in the offing?

@ caudillo
Well in the high season, it is even more, sometimes in summer you are flying over 110 block hours and then the paycheck is ok (around 3500€net) but I agree with you its hard work...
Just got around 11-12% payrise over the next 1 1/2 years.
Move to the UK? Wan´t to make me an offer?
Ok joking apart I´m leaving AB in the near future anyway.
Cheers!

B747SP VVIP in the Persian Gulf.
Salary + Housing + Schooling + Family medical + Per Diem + 13th month
Net monthly : +/- 11,000 Stirling for Captain, +/- 8,000 F/O & F/E
Must watch it as local currency is tied to the tanking $ and inflation is rising.
