My wife takes it all and I only get my allowance!

Money isn't everything, it won't bring you happiness. It just means you can be miserable in comfort. As long as you've got a couple of quid left at the end of the week to play the lottery then thats fine.:p

Engineer take home £3500 a month.£4000 with a little overtime.

BigFootDriver 4th August 2008 02:08

$12,000 USD after taxes. 25 yrs B-777-200IGW Capt for a really big US carrier.

Last yr gross was $200K (flew 430 hrs) and shrinking....sigh:ugh:

It sucks making less that a BA captain!

Shaka Zulu 4th August 2008 09:00

I wouldnt say you made less than a BA Captain.
If you grossed 200k dollars for 430hrs then you've done rather well.
The average BA Captain is on 830-860hrs a year so following that logic, he should you be earning around 400k dollars. We most certainly are not in that league.

Same for the Southwest chap, fairly competitive.

DEP BA around £3500 net, which is roughly the industry average in the UK.

Any Flybe Captains to report wages? Salary and per diem for 2008?

All currencies were converted from various (USD,CAD,EUR,etc) to GBP to match the original post and for ease of comparison.


Virgin Captain (aircraft is irrelevent), 2nd year of command. Gross pay £8400. Net (after £1300 pension contributions, £2200 tax and £300 NI) £4600. Add to that around £600-£700 in allowances spent downroute. Add to the gross figure around £1300 company pension contribution, plus health insurance (both acute and critical illness) and loss-of-licence insurance.

Qatar Airways 5 year A330 Captain:

15,300 USD

Including Housing allowance, flight pay, per diems, loss of licence and medical insurance. 85Hrs per month on average. No Tax. No Pension. 12 salaries a year. This after our latest pay increase effective April 1st.

SK76 TRE, Africa (type isn't relevant)
GBP 4200 -ish
400-500 hr/year over the last 10, several types in that time. Averaged about 5 months/annum in my own bed.

...after tax/pension/benefits etc. I currently receive no per diem (and I will never consider these part of the pay packet, that's how one gets talked into taking less pay)

I added the quotes as they have reinforced my happiness with flying Sikorsky/Eurocopter products vice Airbus/Boeing.


Wingswinger,

One of my friends works at a bank were it is a dismissible offence to discuss wages.
Talk about keeping the common peasants in their place.

I think open discussion about who gets what and why can only help give us an idea of how badly (or well) off we are.

FIS.
...worked for an operator like that. We all posted our deals on the notice board in the crew room. The boss nearly exploded, but thought better.


have you noticed the wide disparity of annual hours flown vs total pay?

As low as 250 hrs per yr up to 1200:eek:

Anyone good at graphs can show hours against pay for the sample? Might make interesting reading for those bumping up to max hours.

At 250 hours a year I could do a window cleaning round too and really make money:ooh:

In many cases you aren't paid to fly. You are paid to be available and prepared to fly when the client needs it. It is a subtle but important difference when calculating the real work involved in the job.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Last but not least, everyone should remember what it took to get to this point. In 1990 I was making GBP 650 gross (not much tax on that) but steadily climbing. I made a career change and in 1999 it was a wopping GBP 1000 gross again. All flying

It is a long road to hoe and if one is considering it, remember the cost for the family and yourself to get to one of the positions you read about here.

Do you mean £200 (GBP) or 200€ (Euros)?

SX737 12th August 2008 20:07

I mean actually £220 (GBP). Well last month with a block of leave and 49 block hours I got £2,740 so I estimate on a good month to be anywhere from £2,800 and £3,100 net.

flyaway777 13th August 2008 12:59

737zaf,

Which scheme did you enter easyjet on? TRSS, Cadet or DEP. I would have thought a DEP SFO would get a bit more than that but I guess without the pension and share schemes you would have quite a bit more.

Im also an ezy UK based SFO and take home something between £3300 and £3500 usually. That is without the pension and share contributions though. And max hours!
