Am I right in thinking that a BA Longhaul Capt get's nearly £1500 - £2000 more than a Virgin Skipper per month?

Ish, ball park figures, 20% more work, 25% more money, most guys in Virgin would rather retain the 750hr annual limit and forgo the money.

Great thread - looks like im the lowest paid and i thought people flying jets had better pay packets! :{

Guys getting command on 777 now been in approx 17 years.

Previous job as F/O in UK, better paid and much better quality of life, though the guys further up the pecking order in BA tell me things get a lot better as seniority picks up :bored:

I'd like to cut across you right there. You and I look to have about the same takehome pay. I'm flying the line, you're in training. I didn't get paid at all in training. I claim victory on the basis of being the lowest-paid flying pilot on the board, provided I'm not too lost on the USD - Pound conversion.

Heh, sorry. There's not a whole lot else to be proud of at this job...

Damn! Can I please have your job? :) Apart from the money, you probably still love flying as well! :ok:

Oh yeah, in case it hasn't been mentioned: EZY SFO: netto roughly £3300,-/month which includes £400,- repayment of type rating costs (TRSS) and 7% additional contribution towards pension.

Switched EZY to BA, gave up a lot of money for the swap too. Sit idle for 10 years methinks and see what happens.

rduarte,

Yes, as Sir Richard Branson described it, if you go fishing, the fish you catch in your net and haul on board is what you actually take home(net)....The fish that escaped your net whilst pulling them in, the FAT TAX MAN ate!(gross):}

Sick as a parrot
 

Being a non-pilot (but a desparate wannabe) I take home approx £1650 per month (paid weekly) as a lorry driver, duty hours are 51 a week but work only for about 45, the benefits of job and knock.

Could always be more but I refuse to do overtime for the barstewards that I work for.

Hey could be worse... I could be flying for Ryanair. :)

BA nine years, Capt on 737. Average £5300 net pcm. 770hours per year, usual BA benefits.
