Easyjet Pay
I have seen quite a few comments from Easy f/os quoting take home pay of £2700-2800 a month. I am struggling (as usual!) to work out with even a large amount of sectors the difference between the basic pay and take home pay. Could someone please explain?

Thanks Engee, but I still do not understand. If your basic is approx 2100 per month (as SFO) and that 420 sectors per year gives you approx £400 per month (assuming 40% tax on 70% of allowances) I cannot get near £2700-2800. Perhaps I have been given the wrong info ref tax on allowances?!

Just a quick question.
Does a £350 per month company contribution, buy much of a pension with Scottish Equitable for a Captain? (Or £215 per month for an SFO?)
I know there are many variables, but can anyone guess the maths for say 20 years of service?

I genuinely wish you good luck Scottie.
The point I am trying to make is this: (and to be fair, Easy probably aren't the best example)
There seems to be ever growing numbers of pilots taking enormous glee in saying something along the lines of; "we're cheaper than you, which means we deserve all your routes, and you just deserve to be out of a job."
Surely we should all be trying to push EVERYONE'S remuneration PACKAGE up! Not encouraging this 'Dutch Auction' mentality.
Everyone can be undercut, if we allow it.

According to the Saturday Telegraph, £350 a month would buy a pension the equivalent of, a lot less than, £10,000 per annum in 20 years time. (£192 per week before tax!)
Hope we don't all get such a 'generous' package!
We should all be trying to ENSURE we don't! Because this kind of thing just might be what makes some pilots seem more expensive than others! Get my drift?
So krisskross, I hope you are spending outrageous amounts of your 'outrageous pay' on additional volountary contributions! If you're lucky, you'll be retired a very long time!
