Captain salary: £67k
FO salary: £43k
Senior FO salary £46k
The above is full time. There is sector pay which varies depending on length of sector and duty pay at £2.10/duty hour. It adds up to about 200 - 700 per month. All taxable except some of the duty pay.
No annual pay increments. General pay rises at the discretion of the company. Note that there is an incremental payscale but only those pilots who were with the company more than about 5 years ago are on it. I believe some pilots have lost their increments upon promotion.
There is no typical roster because it's a bit of a do it all airline (loco seat only, package holidays, ad hoc charters, royal mail etc). Rosters are assigned with little input from pilots. As you might guess, expect max hours with few/no standbys in summer.
For routes check out the website.
We're told there is a 737-800 for MAN starting in Feb, with a 2nd joining soon!? As far as I know the 757s are here to stay typically doing the longer trips.
PS: I am told there is no longer a SFO salary so ignore the £46k - sorry.

MD11Man, it's still likely to be an offer of 70%, bond for conversion or pay for training, if it's a 70% contract the price is for 70% of what OAA charge for the course.

for what its worth i think there is a large variation of contracts being offered at J2, if you are ex military or ex legacy (ish) airline direct entry capt then bonds have been offered instead of type ratings etc, on the other end of the scale if you are a 200 hr cadet then you are fleeced to pay for a type rating, JOC course, 70% contract etc. Anything in between is variable depending on the desperation of the company!

Yeah but we don't have anywhere like the day off payments you lot get BlueBaron, and I understand there were a lot of flexis flying around last year due to a large reduction in pilot numbers 
Still not sure how you managed to take home £90k though, you must be very senior. When I worked for your lot as a year 4 FO, my gross pay was about £55k.
You're right about Balpa, I really hope they can get to work on the t's and c's at Jet2, otherwise the flood of resignations is going to get even worse.

Scooby,
Don't worry too much about lack of detail - the 757 is designed on the dark cockpit principle, i.e if something goes wrong something lights up.
Gone are the days of learning volts/amps etc etc. The CBT is adequate for purpose.If you want more detail I believe the front toilet water heater cuts out at 88 degrees C !
Enjoy the course, it's (still) a great aircraft. If you want any info on it PM me
(757 since 2003)

Even on the top FO salary scale,and with detatachments as you state i cannot possibly see how you can say you "TOOK HOME" 87k
If there are FO's in our company on money like that no wonder JM like he is now
How many years are you with the company?
good luck if you are getting it but for how much longer.......

So it's not TAKE HOME then is it!!!!! 
A little over exaggeration/posturing!
I think we are all in agreement that their conditions are bad. The thing I find most amusing is that they thought they could get away with the 70% offer business. I know of at least 5 guys who have rejected/withdrawn from their offer due to better job offers elsewhere. Where as at first they said they only had a limited number of 100% available and they were going to be offered to the best candidates they are now handing them out to try and claw back people.
I don't really blame them they are after all a business and as such have margins but they have not seemingly caught on to the fact that it will take more than 100% to attract people. I.E. a better basic salary with increments maybe.
It would appear that most of the 70% contracts seem to have been given to the NON TR'd people which is a double blow for them with their TR cost as well.
I do believe they are a good company but there has to come a time when these T&C'S are improved.
Bluebaron does have a point on the salary though. Their Capt salary is very poor and many of us as FO's in other companies are earning as much if not more. I hope J2 sort this out and recognise that crew are a necessary expense on their books and not just an annoying overpaid outgoing they can squeeze. They would be a great company to join with better T&C's.
