ATC 2800 is a full time wage so expect it to be nearer to 2500 on the 9/3 contract. You could make that nearer to 3k by not putting into the company DC pension, but then you are turning down free money in the long run!

Christ Seamaster, I've been here for donkeys years and not earned that without day off payments or lots of voyage. Either Im being done or your a senior F/O and not paying into the pension scheme which is not very representative of what these guys can expect.

Thanks for all the info guys - I did work it out to be somewhere between 2500 - 3000 so you have confirmed roughly what I was thinking to expect.
How often does the overtime come up at the Manch base? I suppose if you could maybe have the option to do one day overtime per month then that brings the salary up quite a bit - £412 gross I believe per day?

This year you could have done as much O/T as you wanted as Manchester was severely under crewed. Next year will depend on how many pilots the company employ and where. The Scheduling agreement allows for 2 days per month to be sold.

Second that. Had the chance to join them on the B720, gosh, decades ago. Went to Laker instead. Still regretting the decision. Get in if you can, anyway. Super company and great chaps running it.

Striker - Congratulations on getting in. I will also be there on the 1st March, based at Manchester.
A320novice - I found out the day after my interview, although I think I was one of the last to interview.

They just offered 10 or 11 guys. Are they doing more interviews?
Rumours in the crew rooms are they have taken on 10 F/O's for MAN base.
According to Union figures this summer the company is short of 12 F/O's.
I'm not sure if that 12 figure includes the resignations the company has already received from those off to the Middle East.
So that is still 2 F/O's short already.
I expect there will be some losses from those off to BA/Vs and maybe more to the Middle East, so I expect they might have to take on a few more.
Or they will just flog the rest of us to death, with roster disruption,max hours and minimum rest.
But at least there is the lure of dayoff payments!!

Not CTC P2F pilots. The CC were strongly against this and I suspect that management pilots would rather not go down this route if they can convince the beancounters...it seems they were able to on this occasion.
I understand that many of the guys were ctc pilots we had to let go a few years ago (the first time we have done that and I believe that only 2 pilots have been made redundant in the entire 40 yr history of the company). Most of them managed to get jobs with Lingus but it will be really nice to welcome them back as they are good guys.
A personal recommend to the chief pilot goes a long way with Monarch. I would guess that the Chief Pilot has enough of these to fill any more recruiting this year. Might be worth sending a cv in if you have an A320 rating and a mate in the company who is willing to give you a recommend.
