Easy Portugal Salary - DEC
Hi,
Please can anyone give me some info re what earnings can be expected for a DEC in Portugal?
I have been told different figures from different sources and I'm yet to find a definitive answer.
Please feel free to PM if you're not happy sharing info on the thread.
Many Thanks

I'd recommend contacting a local accountant with your personal details and the gross expected salary. I believe the company are reluctant to quote net figures as it is a complicated subject. Many of the pilots have used Van Doorn in Lisbon and they are very familiar with all the issues, numbers, charge sensible money and speak english. You'll find them on Google. They can offer good advice.
As an aside, the gross figures quoted have been understated this year in my experience, i.e the actual amounts earned have been higher than advertised. With various bonus granted (including loyalty for those around more than two years) the Captains have been grossing in the mid €140Ks.

EasyJet don't pay differently. But Portuguese tax differes a lot. As an example, as a captain in Portugal with your approx. gross monthly salary of €10,000-11,000 and you have a child. If your partner doesn't work you'll take home €600-650 more than if your partner doesn't work.
As Turkish says, first year gross is mid €140k. Assuming worst case local tax and social security you'll be looking at high 70k low 80k net. If you have children maybe add 5-10k to the net annual figure.

Does Easyjet pay it's pilots different amounts whether they are married, have kids etc?
As stated earlier, this year with a slightly above average performance bonus most Captains were in the mid €140K range.

You are required to have an UK EASA license before you start your OCC course, as simple as that.
Or a German License if you are based in Germany (impossible to convert German medical to UK apparently).

Ok - Thanks for that. Are all there aircraft UK registered, no matter what country they are based in ? So once one got an UK EASA licence there should be no problem to be based an any other country ?

No, easyJet is currently in the process of registering 110 of its planes in austria to make sure it can operate within europe post brexit. However, with an EASA license you can operate on any plane registered within the EU without any problems.

Then the Germans (government) should be thrown out of Europe and EASA. This is not acceptable. What is ECA and other unions doing about this?

Think you misunderstood...
There is no reason to convert your licence, any EASA licence, including the German, is valid everywhere in EASAland.
It is easyJet who should be taken to court for not accepting non UK EASA licences!

I wouldn't be so harsh on easyJet here. The core problem is that EASA allows national CAAs to make their own rules when it comes for a licence entries.
Example 1. You have a UK licence and UK TRE, the LPC is successful, TRE enters new validity of the rating in the licence, rostering is notified of the new validity, story finished.
Example 2. You have a licence from an EASA member state, and a foreign TRE (still EASA, but has licenced issued by other member state). You do the LPC, but your CAA deems foreign TREs not capable enough to write couple of letters and numbers on the licence, so you have to submit all the paperwork to them, wait couple of weeks and they send you the new licence, which you then send to rostering.
See the difference?

The German privacy law does not allow the transmission of medical private data to another country, which is a requirement in order to get a medical in another country, that's the problem.

There is currently an NPR up by the EASA about that issue, but until that is turned into hard EASA regulation it will take some time. As far as i'm aware both VC as the german union as well as ECA are working on that issue, but a solution is not expected anytime soon. And easyJet now does accept german licenses, at least for those joining from airberlin, no idea if its now a general rule though. However, they require those joining to renew their rating on their own before they join if it is valid for less than 60 days from date of joining.
