Just filled in my tax return for the last year.....BA Longhaul with about 750 hours last year....140K UK Pounds Net. Not much in the grand scheme of things, but I'm here for the pension.
edited to add I've just read my post about the pension and realise I've turned into the guys I used to fly with when I first joined

I hope you meant £140k GROSS.
If it's net, you are on £200k+ a year...!!
Anyway, even if it is £140k net...
...are you taking the pi$$....!!

Oh dear...I did wonder before posting. I'm one of Gordons' expats that have voted with my feet and live on the continent...so the 140k is net. I enjoy my job, but realise it isn't the be all and end all. I want to spend more time with the family and enjoy more time at home. I look at my neighbours who earn as much, if not more than me.If I could change the decisions I made 20 years ago, I probably might....As I posted earlier, I probably would have changed career or direction, but since I'm 42 and final salary pensions are no-more (in the UK) I'm pretty well trapped at BA. BA know this, of course, which is why they nibble away slowly at the workforce. In answer to your question...no, i'm not taking the piss.I just wish more of my UK colleagues would hold out for the proper rate for the job. Judging by some of the earlier posts, the job of piloting has gone from being a professional job to a vocational job. I sat next to the Chairman of Goldman Sachs several years ago who expressed amazement at the low salaries of flight crew in BA. "Our secretaries earn more than that" were his words. Perhaps we need more self esteem, or more importantly, the collective will to say to airline owners/mgmt "pay us a salary commensurate with the responsibilities of the job"....and not what the "market" will bear.

Around £5300 per month net working as Capt + Line Trainer for shorthaul european operation with an Franco/Dutch parent.
There are very few jobs where this happens as witness the disparity in premiership footballers and hospital doctors pay as a rather cliche example but there are plenty of others. £140k a year for no ongoing responsibility once you sign the tech log (allowing for preparation for prof checks or training duties etc) is pretty good going.

Captain of a small primary school in Wales:
I get c£3000 per month net, however hard I work; required to work 195 days per year, all Mon to Fri. Can book my hols 10 years in advance; and it funds my PPL habit nicely.

Monty,
Have you been rooting through my 'Secret Plans' file?
Seriously, i did a few years as RAF non-pilot aircrew, and clearly remember the anecdotes about premature twigg-falling at or about pension time! That and family considerations did it for me, but I still miss flying professionally.

Renumeration
Would appreciate if any of the rotary wing guys would also pipe up. In fact, if some of the "FL 350" types were to ask around also and post, it would be greatly appreciated. Of course, the rotary wing scene is quite different for charters, off-shore, EMS, Law enforcement etc., but any info would be welcome.......Happy Landings

Helicopter Captain Nigeria
9800 USD per month
Line Training Captain
7% company pension contribution
6 weeks on 6 weeks off
Travel to & from Nigeria from anywhere in the world included
Accommodation & living expenses at work included
Armed escort to and from work included!!
Nigeria is not for the faint hearted. Most of us are there for either the money or the time off or both.
The work and living conditions vary depending on location. Some good, some terrible.
Pay review in the offing but we are not expecting any more than inflation.
Any takers?
