Fullforward
I did not try and hide the fact that I work for emirates. I just thought it was obvious.
I had been given the impression that this sting was to enable all of us to find out if we were being paid the market rate not some kind of one upmanship. We at EK only received a 2% increase this year which we were all dissapointed with, however I now see that there are alot of qualified pilots out there willing to join here for less. The pay may look good from the outside but believe me to move away from home and cope with many different standards in lifestyle is not always that easy.

Ok, no problem here. But I doubt that there is so many QUALIFIED drivers knocking at the airlines doors begging for a job...
And yes, your definitely right, the present money is nothing when you and your family are subjected to such a big move.
I think Emirates pay was better, it is disappointing.
Stuka,
Ok, go ahead, any time you want, buddy.

Tyrolean Airways Captain
(same pay for Dash 8-300/400, Canadair RJ and Fokker 70)
after tax and social security deductions and including tax-free per-diems
average 2250 GBP after 8 years as captain and 11 with the company
- doesn't sound exactly much when reading the other posts. (Next month and before christmas will be about twice as much because of 13/14th salary which enjoys some tax breaks. If you really want to compare you simply have to take the annual amount after tax....
Would be nice if someone could compile this into a table - maybe ECA should do this, so we don't have to spend our time on it.
Maybe Capt. PPrune could make this thread into a single file so it can be reviewed at leisure, clicking through all those pages is a bit hard, although the multitude of postings clearly shows our preoccupation with dosh :-)

Rossair Contracts, senior co-pilot(1900's),
Gross:$2105 for 2 months away from home at work. $437 for your off month, total for three month period=$2542, before tax. Divide that by 3 to get your average monthly income= $847 !!! You still have to buy food and drink while away on contract too.
