Bose Wave, if you spent £20k in total, please please tell me how you managed it?
£20k is roughly about 25000 euros.
Below is excerpt from the Ryanair type rating information pack advertised by BFSAA. This is course only, no cost of accomodation and other bills etc.

I don't believe you.
Best paid pilots in the world are Typhoon Instructors going to Saudi. That's because there are only about 5 of them who are prepared to go.
It's far more complicated than an airliner, requires skills that take a whole career to acquire, that most of us don't possess anyway, and it's a crappy place to live.
Supply and demand.

What don't you believe ol' boy?
That I am surprsied that pilot pay is generally lower than I had imagined?
It was merely an observation as I am not a pilot.
(I do much envy the job tho' - leave the office at the end of the working day and there is no "left to do" list ..... )

john o pilot,
my TR was approx £18k, The remaining £2k covered my living expnses, the criminal check at the time was £150, I went to an open day and handed in a CV and the next Day I had an email from FR inviting me to an assessment, there was no fee for this, I also paid for the criminal assessment which I think was indeed as you say £20, I can go on if we are down to these sums of money, I can tell you that you also pay £2.50 to go to the local swimming pool when doing your safety training. But ultimately these are one of payments (as is the uniform that everyone bangs on about) that IF you want the job then you see beyond them.
If the prices you say are correct (and I dont doubt you) then all I can say is that since 18 months ago it has gone up in price...sounds like FR !
Getting back to my original post the bloke said his mates TR already cost him £40k with another £10k-£15k to go followed by unpaid flying, I dont quite believe any of that.

wheelie my boeing,
OK, uniform costs around £300 but remember you only buy one once, people talk about the uniform like its buying a house in terms of expense, if you want to job you get over this one off inconvenience, car parking where I am based is a direct debit of £20 per month so call it £240 per year, yes we also pay for our medical £150 so total is close to £700, yes it’s a pain to pay this but ultimately we are taking Hundreds here and not thousands, you say “tell everyone I earn much more than I do” £700 hardly boosts your salary massively does it?

Wigster...
The desk may be well grounded, but its only a desk... I'm not tied to it ! I work contracts and can come n go as I please or it suits, no timetable or roster to cling to. So, if its a good day and the aircraft is available I can just decide to take the day/ half day off and go for a jolly if I want. I DO think that is the best of both, because, once it becomes a 'bread n butter' issue the fun departs rapidly, and it might even become a chore ! I hope it never does though, for anyone of you, because I would'nt wish that on anyone...
Yep , I'm happy wi me desk, and my sporadic jollies.... and I dont count the cash, I just try to spend some of it before the wife does !
It also means I get paid while writing titbits like this (at my lovely, boring, grounded desk.... !!! )
Tailwinds to yawl............. Aelkobi.

Wangja - touche.
Apologies, couldn't work out how to make the acute accent on the 'e' to work. So please accept a 'Ha!', by way of recompense.
Fair play to you, if somebody is prepared to pay you for the skills you have to generate money for an organisation that is in business to make money. Be it a bank or an airline. That's what it comes down to.

Monty - fret not, no offence taken ol' chap, and I am probably at the peak of my earnings now, others here are still climbing.

I'm currently on a contract in the North sea working as an abseilor. I work 147 nights a year and take home approx £3000 a month, with a 2 weeks on 3 weeks of Rota. I'm doing this to fund my flying training, It's going to be a bit of a hit when and if I ever get a job flying commercially, but money doesn't buy happiness, flying will make me happy. I'm sick of working offshore, it's Bo
cks, but it's a means to an end so to speak.

If I may be so forward as to ask what the gross salary is for someone of your seniority. And are you only paying HK tax or do you have dependents eslewhere that requires you to pay tax in another country as well? Hoping not to offend but $13000 USD/month on A scale just doesn't seem like a lot at the end of the day.
