Skyways paycheck?

Hi everyone
Can someone help me to find out what a resonable pay should be for me, currently flying Embraer-145 for Skyways in Sweden.We fly to different locations in Europe,I have been working as F/O for 5 years, and get (according to me) a lousy 2300 dollar a month before tax.(-tax 1600 left). This is not a joke, what do you get out there in Europe flying similar aircraft?

Have a nice summer

Thanks flying clog
I know we are underpaid but did not think it was that bad. Is 3000 dollar after tax for a F/O? if it is guess i have to change job.

The Swedish salaries for flight crew are among the lowest in the EU, on top of that the taxes are among the highest.

If you are in it for the money (or would like to make more than the cashier at "ICA") I'm afraid you have to move.

On the other hand you can enjoy the wonderful swedish climate...for two months each year...

Been there, done that! Remember that in the UK you are not governed by your union regulation like in Sweden, so be prepared to be treated accordingly!

Holy mother of God, I think you can start to speak about reasonable pay when you get at least 2500 euros after tax for flying that high speed fishing pole.
Sixteen hundred sounds like a new hire FO but after five years...
