Very odd post to say the least! anyway, Rishworth no nothing of moving to OSM, maybe LNIDA has some secret knowledge on this? in any event, i,m current 777 and they offered interview towards end of month, I can't make that and when they discovered I have 3 months notice they seemed less interested. Bond issue was not covered as it is common type, but they mentioned a " training bond" for conversion course? no idea what that means. Final decision is to stay where I am as the T+Cs not quite right at the moment taking into account LOL and Medical, Staff travel etc etc. Good wishes to the rest

A wise decision, Avenger.
Other than the many contractual shortcomings, the following is the reality
Monthly income €10000
equates to Yearly £87000
take home per month, after NI / std rate tax = £5300
My kids education is currently just under half that. And paid for.
Although obviously a basic state school would have to suffice if working for NLH, Plus a modest terrace house somewhere outta town.
My guess , many of the applicants are old n single, divorcees or young and dumb wannabes!

Hi Fade to Grey.
You seem to be 'in the know'. Any chance you could post the correct figures as im struggling to find a post with the actual £ take home pay for the LGW based guys.
Many thanks,
85

Given the apparent accuracy of the new thread confirmed by insiders why the hell would it actually matter what the correct figures are. Just cannot imagine why anyone gives them a second thought.

Luckily for you then you dont have to think on behalf of everyone else and wonder why they might be interested in a particular job. Clearly you are a skygod earning 20K£ a month for 500 hrs/yr. Lucky you but we are not all lucky enough to be in your privileged position
Now if you could let the man provide us with the information we are looking for then that would be much appreciated.
Regards,

Fair enough.
Done my time in sandpits and certainly no skygod, what ever that is. Love your figures - would be happy with that.
If you are still prepared to consider this company after what they did last year and are apparently repeating this then OK. With the worst conditions in the UK I think it is a fair question to ask. And as long as they continue to have a queue at their door I guess they will only go one way.
Didn't think I was stopping anyone from answering your question.
You should check out the other current Norwegian thread. Plenty of others for you to admonish there.

Jax, and therein lies the heart of this issue, one mans rubbish is another's etc etc.
So long as people find this treatment acceptable, then there will be no shortage of takers.
Personally I just don't see it being a viable rate of pay for a new joiner with significant debt, I see it as a way for ex sandpit/Asia/and the occasional legacy driver to come home, or top off the pension.

You are probably right Monarch Man. It is very sad. It is unbelievable to me that a company has the balls to continue to advertise for 787 drivers at the same time as laying off dozens of the same already recruited. It has been "explained" that this is because they do not actually want them for this winter and all will be wonderful for all next summer. Oh Yeah.

Jax,
This isn't like a large legacy carrier. You don't just apply between fleets and transfer - your probably dealing with different agencies, AOCs etc.
Not to mention the bond and selection.
That short haul don't need 36 73 drivers is not attributable to the long haul operation

Monarch man- I totally agree that the conditions, from what I can read on this thread in particular, are not what you would expect for such a position living in the South of England. This is definitely not in question.
However for myself and most others I would imagine, paying the bills and feeding your family rates higher than fighting this ever declining industry on your own. If i had no job and needed to pay the bills then i wouldn't hesitate to take the job even for the conditions mentioned on this thread.
Everybody's situation is different and hence you can't know the reason why they took the job in the first place.
Cheers

With the tax system in the UK asking about take home pay is likely to get the wrong answer for yourself ( it may be 100% correct for the person answering your question).
You need to know the gross pay and then do a bit of research on the HMR&C website ( income tax ) to enable an accurate answer for your personal tax position.
If you have other income you could slip into the 60% tax band.

He's just a troll, ignore him.
amd I can tell you we have some great cabin crew trainers and generally a very good spirit de corps.
The pay rise and days off - this is correct. Those who have been here 3 years are now being shown the renewal conditions for when their contracts run out next year.
