Salaries?
Working as a ramp agent at a large FBO chain. Getting paid equivalent to 280GBP/month doing after hours work and weekend shifts. How's that for shooting the hostage in the foot. And all that for a few aviation contacts..... :confused: Is it really worth it?

Loads a money!
 

Plenty thanks - and a big fat pension too! :ok:

Typical reply from Flybe Management.

no real money in engineering these days.... :confused:"

We drive slightly more complex machines than buses, this you will learn if you do the flying thing..... Me thinks we don't get paid enough!

Hey Walker Texas Ranger I wanted to find out more about your contract work, and where you are. I'm a CRJ FO seeking an overseas assignment...great if you could email me direct: [email protected]

thx

DC-10 Captain for USA based Charter Airline, world wide operation. 15 years with the company, pay scale tops out at 12 years. Base Pay $136,000, going to $140,000 on Jan. 1 and $145,000 in 12 months. Can easily make another $15,000 by working days off. Guaranteed 12 days off, but generally get 15 or more.

So I guess we F/Os should get some extra pay for flying with the management Guys. Those who just fly around 5 to 7 days/month coming near FRA/LHR on a CAT3 Firday morning with less than 15min extra, because fuel is so expensive and we have to save money.
Diversions are so much cheaper!!!

2yr EZY SFO after 7% pension payments, takehome: £3200

Paying to HSBC for the privilege of having a type rating, for 5 yrs: -£460

Flying orange.........Priceless !!
