VA RHS year 3 pay scale , £81,866 , fixed 750 hr limit per year
787-9 , max 4 trips per month , been averaging 2 lately due engine issues which has been great,
take home is around £4500 with 6% (15% from company) pension conts... full private healthcare etc..
allowances now world wide rate so not as good as before but inline with other airlines , prob save around $450 per month on a 4 trip month .
Cons : wish we had more routes
Management is a pain
wish the day off incentive was better
Pros : good crowd to work with
lots of days off
still sociable down route
by no means is it perfect but i find it better than Big Air

All the americans have little to brag, because we all remember not many years ago when a regional FO was making less than 20k USD gross. Less than the receptionist mentioned above.
They make more in good times, but when s**t hits the fan, furloughs and pay cuts hit much harder on that side of the pond.
And I would rather be unemployed in good old europe, compared to the states.

In some parts of some countries that is probably a very comfortable income.

LHS ME A380 €222.920 net, this is inclusive of all allowances / pension contributions etc etc.
Flown just shy of 400 hours but spent quite some time in the box.
Overall fairly happy with the work / life balance but this is largely due to my personal (job) circumstances.

. The top 1% of UK tax payers (roughly training Captain pay level and above) pay more than a third of the country's total income tax revenue - The bottom 42% pay nothing. and then have the cheek to endlessly implore the government to put the whole lot into the bottomless pit that is the disfunctional NHS. (which rather conveniently, they didn't contribute a penny towards, but desperately need, to deal with their morbid obesity/diabetes/etc)

Alaska Airlines A320 Captian.
$335k USD plus $50k USD contribution to retirement fund, totaling $385K
16 days off a month
About 900 hours flight time.
Can somebody explain why you guys don't name the airline you work at? I thought the point was to let job-hunters know what they can make at a specific airline.
