What is your take-home pay at the end of the month?
Slight thread drift......maybe......found this on MSN News today:-
Aircraft Pilots and Flight Engineers
What they do: Exactly what it says on the tin -- to fly commercial, business or freight aircraft on short- or long-haul flights.
How to get there: A-levels/HND are sufficient and pilots must undertake an intensive training programme to obtain their commercial pilot's licence (CPL) and Airline Transport Pilot's Licence from a CAA-approved training school. Oh, and you'll need a good pair of sunglasses, too.
What they earn: £70,595
Air traffic Controllers
What they do: With more than 200 million passengers travelling to and from UK airports every year, air traffic controllers really do have their work cut out. Their job is to manage the safe take-off and landing of several aircraft at the same time by monitoring and controlling an aircraft's height, speed and course.
How to get there: Contrary to common assumptions, entry is not the preserve of university degree holders, although an increasing number of graduates are entering the profession. The minimum requirement is five GCSEs (grades A-C including English and Maths) in addition to two A-levels/GNVQ advanced level. Most people enter the profession via the National Air Traffic Services (NATS).
What they earn: £64,045
Thought i would include the ATC pay as well - now, either i'm missing something but most i know don't earn that amount !! lmao

48% Tax in Germany leaves you with 66144€ net + 31800€ (taxfree)= 97944€/year
Highest tax class 1 ( single ) is currently at 42%.
If married & childs, it can go down to ~30% and even less since you can deduct or claim back end of the year a lot of things......
One from the other side of the tracks.
Twin-turbine GA work. UK based, worldwide ops -- often spend months deployed; it's not transportation/commuter type work. 4 years in.
I take home 2250 USD (1670 €) per month, after taxes. No sector pay, no duty pay. I get ~15 USD per day when deployed overseas. Client also pays a meal allowance and takes care of accom.
No payscale, no year-on-year increments. No pension, medical, loss-of-licence, nothing.
Newbies be warned; you will either need luck at getting a 'proper job' right off the bat, plenty of moulah to pay for your line training/first contract (judging by other threads) or a great deal of resolve in patiently waiting at the lower end of GA for things to open up. Aviation has never been a money-spinner except for a lucky few, but certainly never less so than now.

Hi guys... Im just new to this and dont want to go off topic but I Successfully passed my IAA Class 1 medical today and I think i'm going to take the BIG risk of being a pilot. What should I expect to be paid in my first year with the likes of ryanair or FlyBe??? Its not all about the money I know. But its just nice to feel that i'll be able to afford my loan Repayments!
Cheers

albertaboy, is that a rough standard across Canada? Also, how often do you get to see family?
I'm about to embark on my flying career and I love the idea of doing some bush flying after I qualify... The salary does worry me, but not as much as living apart from my wife and obese cat!
