The 2009 'What is your take home pay' Thread

Basic stuff, just as last year. What is your take home pay, what other benefits do you get and what airline/operation are you involved with?

Me:
Take home pay after tax: £1,600c.
UK Based turboprop First Officer, Year 1
No other benefits except very limited company staff travel

Flying for a belgian airline, medium haul jet, First Officer, I get about 2900 euros per month, after tax. It's per diem included.
Other benefits are reduced fare ticket on the company, as well as ZED ticket + ID on interline.
Plus interesting pension fund, loss of licence, insurance for my family in case of death. I should talk about the pretty good atmosphere in the cockpit and with the cabin crew, good meals we receive on board, usually nice hotels for night stop.

Starbear, I think £3600 - £4000 take home is reasonable for a year 1 FO given the low taxation rates on generous allowances many airlines offer, especially if longhaul.

Basic month with very little flying is still > £3k take home.

Hope you manage to get to YYZ tfly...

Guys; I started the thread last year...what's wrong with that one??

Anyway, the point of it is to tell us WHO you fly for and how much you take home so as to gauge the possibilities of working for them one day (or not).

There is little point in saying "a large carrier" or any other anonymous comment because it doesn't tell the reader much and could just be seen as pointless bluster or boast.

Come clean or don't bother because there is no point in giving half-information.

Skiptoit, you mention that we should expose which airline we fly for in the very first post and then you only say "a large UK turbo prop operator". Come on.
