What Did You Take Home This Month?

Aussie 737 FO, 6 years in Company. Last month took home $AUS7,150 (= £2610 = $US3780) which was a big month.
That buys me about:
1190 pints of beer, or
2550 std (285 ml) glasses of beer, or
1490 std Bourbon & cokes, or
204 tanks of petrol for my car, or
one ninth of a BMW
Usually around $AUS6,700/ month after tax. That includes travel/meal allowances.
Company provides Loss of Licence, superannuation (pension), free car parking & up to 12 free trips per year (on our network, for me only) on top of that.
Fly about 70 hours per month (note to the non-industry types : this number doesn't come close to the number of hours spent at work, or even spent "working". Office time and positioning is only counted at 50% of the actual time, planning duties and time spent away from home isn't counted at all.), 13-15 "days" off (average), six weeks holiday.
By "days" I mean (for those not in the industry) getting home at midnight, then having to get up at 4am the following morning wipes out most of what a normal (i.e. non shift) worker would consider to be a "day off".

Cessna Grand Caravan pilot. Private OPS, I do the flying (single pilot) and lots of other things like narketing the aircraft for the summer, pasking our product (+loading the A/C). Hardly have days off, no overtime paid (despite asking for it) and always put in the worst hotel the company can find (the cheapest one).
£1432.87 after tax.

If you can't save the engine...save the airframe

BA DEP f/o on shorthaul after one year : £3200 this month, average £2900 with max pension contributions.
I took a pay cut from my last airline, but their is a significant jump at 5 year point onto SFO scales .... or onto Capt. scales.
Plus the crew meals are something else !!!

BM (or should i say bmi) f/o, second year increment. after the impending pay raise(~4%) and assuming (maybe naively) a 3% rpi i look at clearing £2750-£3200 per month. this is including all elements of flight pay and is after pension contributions (~£250). the variable figure is primarily due to how much you can milk the overtime, and it can be milked.
contracted at 740 hours per year, 10 days off per month, 6 weeks holiday. average 8-10 nights away per month.
it could be worse, it could be better, but it is what it is.

now is it the wine or the truth i'm after?
