Newly employed left seat on turboprop in Switzerland. Take home circa 4300 pounds thanks to exchange rate.
Beautiful country, gorgeous women but high cost of living. Starting to think that maybe, just maybe, there are nicer places to live than the North East of England.
5 weeks ago I was on 92 pounds a week dole money - I hope all you recently laid off guys out there get lucky as I did, and get back into work soon.

No its less. ca 400€. It depends if you have a private insurance or you
take the gesetzliche insurance. If you have a family under your cover I think it is better to have the gesetzliche insurance , but I have no Idea how much the rate is. If you are on your own it is better to have the
private insurance.

Training Captain easyJet. £5700 Sterling per month. In addition the company puts 7% into my pension fund each month and I put £375 into the various share buying schemes. Finally I receive a 10% 'loyalty bonus' payout of around £4200 once per year. If you were to average that out over the year and not put anything into the share schemes it would be around £6200 per month + 7% into the pension scheme.

But, if unlike NSF, you're a new easyJet starter (I'm not) you can expect an hourly rate similar to an unskilled job.
And massive debt.
However, BALPA will sort it out..........................
Lovely.

5 years Captain with Emirates, net roughly 8000 Euros, plus accommodation plus driver plus utilities (capped now) plus health insurance.
Sounds good, BUT:
Crappy lifestyle, 7 to 8 OFF days a month, no commuting home to see family, no jumpseat, daily intimidation by management, ever eroding working and living conditions, fatigue, fatigue, fatigue, Dubai is a ****hole, EK is trying to adapt to that. Oh, did I mention fatigue???

F/O on European based Bizjet, €4400 net (that includes 50% of my perdiems which go unspent). 2 weeks on (away from home) 2 weeks off (company positions me home). So approx 150 days leave per year. I can take more than two weeks if i want as the other FO and I organise our own schedule for the year. 30 hrs flying a month (prefer a bit more).
Health care top-up, luxembourg pension (very good) after 3 years min.
And i still think the grass may be greener with the airlines, 2 weeks away from the family is tough.

I know a particular company that pays its T/P captains 2900gbp, with forever decreasing pension, rubbish staff travel, 1.90/hr flt pay, rubbish conditions, no benefits, 750hrs a year to the jet 500. They get nigh on 15k a year more than Capt on T/P.
Also very low time cadets coming their way that will be trained for min time and expected to learn on the line. I guess that means they will be working harder. On top of that they are constantly being told that they will never get a payrise to which BALPA are useless at negotiating anyway, but further to that they are forever being bombarded with letters telling them that they are the only airline making a profit in these 'difficult times'.
As for living conditions this particular airline Captain cant afford to buy a house etc etc etc.

4 year First officer boeing 737 ng.
3400 euro net with good pension plan and good benefits.
Would have been more probably in neighbouring countries, but taxes are enormous in this country
