easyJet info required.
Just looking for some actual info on easyJet from some of you folk at the sharp end of their operation.
I have seen all the details on the web-site but would really like to know how it is in real terms and how much hard, cold cash you get in you pocket at the end of the month and what you work like!
Captains get 60k and 22 quid a sector,First Officers 36.5k and 16 quid a sector.
Now I understand that these hours are factorized, depending on the length of the trips.
Q1. How are these hour factorized, and what amount do you finally get of the sector pay?
Q2. Sector pay is given 32% tax relief, does this mean that you get taxed at 40% on 68% of it. ie lose 27.5p in the pound to Gordon Brown?
Q3. In an average month how may sectors would you expect to fly, and on average how many a day?
Q4. The quote on the web-site is 420 sectors a year, is this correct?
Q5. What is you working week like, ie 5 on 2 off. Also what proprtion of the working week is spent on standby and what time on flying duties?
Q6. When in training and on night stops, what do you get in allowances? Is it taxed?
Lots of questions but would apprceiate your time and would also like to hear what the bottom line is on your pay cheque. Also if at all possible, without comprmising yourself of course, see an actual roster for a working month.
Finally, for the other half could some of the Cabin Crew both crew and purser do a similar reply.
Thank you all for your time.

John Smith,
Some of the questions you are asking are answered as follows:
Q1. Hours are factored depending on destiantion. Short distances (UK & AMS) 0.8, Medium distances (most destinations) 1.2 and Long destinations (ATH) 1.5 per sector.
Q2. -
Q3. Expect to fly between 20-60 sectors, depending on what routes you get on your roster and how many standby call-outs you've had. Usually 2-4 sectors per day, depending on destinations. F/O's seem to be rostered to fly about 50-60 hours average per month, Captains up to 90.
Q4. Looking at the rolling year, I've got 424 sectors flown, so 420 is a good average guess.
Q5. Working week is varied, roster changes getting less by the month though. The rostering department is improving its output for sure. No set days-on days-off though. Days off partly assigned in advance (upto 3 months) partly at the publication of next month's roster. Standby duties average about 4-10 per month, possibly an airport standby included.
Q6. In training I believe you get standard F/O or Captains pay including nightstop allowance and sectorpay.
Hope this solves your questions.
In general though, if short on hours, there is a payscale for S/O's, too!
