What Did You Take Home This Month?

[Staysafe]

Britannia Airways - Scandinavia

2nd year FO Oslo 7576

£ 1700, 20 days of work a month.

But listen to this... My previous job was on contract flying captain on a 30 seat Do-328 in the south of Italy: £ 4100. Free housing. Free flight back to Scandinavia every 3 weeks. 3 weeks on, 2 off. Man! Why did I leave that wine and food... and the gorgeous girls?...

Prior to that:

US Airways Express, 3year FO Do-328, £ 1400. Average 14-15 days off a month.

Does anyone know why it is such tabu to question your salary here in Europe? Look at how things are in the states. We are litterally being paid US commuter pay flying 200+ passengers here in Europe.

Gentlemen.. and Ladies.. You have invested so much time, money.. taken so many chances, sacrificed so many things on the way. Why not ask for what you are worth.

Let's get the pay-ball rolling!

Lawerboy,

So sign up. We all have that option don't we? 12 years ago when I went to the US to learn to fly, my buddys were laughing at me. They were comfy in their jobs... the little apartment, the cute girlfriend and a relatively new Audi.

I refuse to feel guilty because other professions pay less. I applaude the US pilots Union ALPA for being able to get the pay to where it is. Euro will most likely follow in some way. In the US, Ailine Pilot is the second highest paid profession. Only surgeons as an average are paid better.

So, sign up. And keep us informed about your career advancements.

Now I'm worried. BA 737 FO, 1yr. Last pay packet was £1854 and that's including the Christmas bonus. After paying my huge 'dahn sarf' housing costs have no money left to buy food, so have to fill up on crew meals.

PA32 300 1.5 yrs(at current job) NZD500 pm

[Stampe]

Britannia B738 2nd year Captain 13 years in company flat month not working no allowances 3300 stg. take home and on a good busy month 4100 stg.This is after all stoppages and my rise from FO. to Capt in BY was only about 200 a month stg.take home.All these figures after all stoppages including pension.Its still a totally inadequate figure given the disruptive lifestyle when we are busy and little time at home,also the high cost of living on some of our extended layovers in Scandanaviaca easily consume all duty pay plus more.

F/O Fokker 100 KLM uk with just over 4 years seniority on Amsterdam Detachment: £3,400 take home each month (fixed) but no extra allowances and I have to pay for own accommodation in the Netherlands.

[Tankie]

Think yourselves lucky. I'm one of the lowly majority that look after the walk on freight in the rear.

I took home £750 this month, and I thought that was a good month. I still have a mortgage and car to run.

Why all the moaning!!!

[Mother]

Tankie, You forgot to say that you are with Virgin!

[Sir_Fly-a-Lot]

I Couldn't resist chaps, beat this !
- Captain A300B4 Freighter
- 5 years seniority
- After tax just GPB 1081,= to take home !!!
- Life like a Vampire, never see daylight !
(If you think that's bad, a new f/o gets
about GBP 513,= after tax.)

P.S. Seen the DHL advertisement in FLIGHT ?
Does anyone know what they pay a Capt A300 ?

[Dan Winterland]

Military 4 jet command. £2250 after tax, NI, house and council tax. But only very little in the way of an increase possible - that's why I'm leaving.

[FAAJAA]

Stuka- MobyDick is with US Airways...the only people I know of that fly A330 in the US. They do Hire 767 drivers, but who knows with the United merger. BTW, 35 years of seniority to get there.
Anyway to add to the Fire: Flight Instructor at a Major Florida School, throw jumpers out of planes on the weekends, sit RHS on the odd CJ when I wash one. Took home 2900USD last month after taxes. I guess I should send my CV to a Commuter...but who needs a pay cut?
