Teco: I found our contract but would rather respond in private. Generally speaking, as 320 Captain just a modest increase compared to the DC-9.
Could you send me an e-mail? I'm leaving very soon for a visit to another town.

Most of you will probably hurt yourself from laughing so hard, but here it goes.
Turbo-prop F/O, first year
$1300 USD
Fortunately I work construction on my days off to help make up the gap.
What ever it takes.

Ignnition overide,
Not all BA pilots belong to the union, but about 95% do. And yes I believe the majority of those members are now very serious about recieving comparable pay to the major European airlines. Where apathy has to an extent ruled in the past the realisation that we have fallen a long way behind is focusing peoples resolve.
Members meetings have been organised in early July to discuss the agenda for the forthcoming pay negotiations with BA. Also on the table will be discussions on strategy for the very possible industrial action that will be required.
We can thank our colleagues in other European airlines such as Lufthansa for showing the way forward. You cannot read accross directly from one airline to another but their experience will certainly prove very helpful.
We have seen greater communications between the various airline unions which is a nice step forward.
There will be difficult times in the long road ahead, but it is my belief that there is now the resolve in BA to see it through.
Regards
Exeng

Didn't see many other "freight dogs" in here so I'll add my h'aporth:
About £2400 per month take-home for First Year F/O turboprop. Still that includes a fair amount of duty pay.
The freight does not talk back either, but no hosties /on-board loos/ and if you want coffee, you bring your own flask!
Good thread, keep em coming.

It's one thing to throw around with numbers, the other--living coasts.
The Lan-Chile guy may not have a large number in GBP to take home but may live like a royal. Vice-Versa for a Crossair type.
I recon that once you're in the majors, where ever you are based you won't be relying on welfare.
Obviously we won't say no to more salary, regardless of where one is employed. As we no longer work for an airline but rather the Shareholders though, we'll see white Christmas in Dubai before we make large leaps in salary.
On the other hand we're not in aviation for the money. We'd be Lawyers or MDs if we went for the money.

Hi smoker,
Would be nice to get the stats on this on.
Its a lot of data though, I've tried and have only gotten thru pages one and two.
I hope you got more time than me; I'll give it a try next week perhaps.
Cheers

Its okay i've set up similar spreadsheets at work for analysing lots of data so it shouldn't be too much trouble, it's really just a case of categorising the data and converting Dollars (US or AUS) to UK Pounds or vice versa.
I'll have a go and see what I can come up with.

I've decided that I need to marry an American girl and try and get in with one of the big carriers.
Seriously, like the rest I'm not here for the money or the view, its the job were all interested in.

Sorry folks but long threads like this one are causing us tremendous problems with the server. Any post with more than a hundred replies uses up tons of server CPU time and slows everything down so I am going to have to close this thread. Feel free to start up a MkII thread and I will archive this one.
