BA Longhaul F/O's
Hi Chaps:
Would any year 1 BA First Officers on either the Jumbo or Triple care to post their average take home pay.
I know this info is posted in previous threads, however it would be good to get an up to date figure post 08 pay rise.
Many thanks
GF

As an captain for eastern europe charter/bizjet operator, dual type-rated (narrow-body airliner+medium size bizjet), I take home EUR 5200 net/8300 gross each month. Good quality of life, especially at times when I`m posted on the bizjets

Some of these salaries are almost depressing. It does reflect how the status and career of piloting has fallen in the last 20 years. When I joined my company 20 years ago, the guys in the left hand seat were saying the same. However, these guys had 6 figure salaries and most retired on 6 figure pensions. many of us will be very lucky to achieve the same.(And that takes inflation into account!)
I wouldn't advise my children to go into the job judging by some of the salaries posted on here. Perhaps the big earners are keeping a low profile?

For comparison.
Air Traffic Controller Area/TMA Control UK
Top of the scale take home £4200 month minimum.
Add to that training / additional shifts etc and you can pull in over £5000 plus

I'm quite shocked - these airline wages sound negligently low to me, and I'd happily pay more for airline tickets to ensure decent wages (as well as decent maintenance). It sure sounds like corporate $queezing gone mad. I am a pretty junior govt public servant currently grossing close to the equivalent of $US 6000 a month - pretty much standard hours, eight-hour day, no stress, no everyday risk other than a 10 minute drive to work. Four weeks rec leave and four weeks personal/sick leave a year. There is something wrong here. Mind you, I am oppressed in a sick, self-serving, hierarchical system, and bored other than the occasional work gig that involves travel!
