doesn't matter. even if it's in gold nuggests, those are some dick wages.

no wonder those guys looked like ********************.

Those salaries are in pounds. They are base salaries, they also get paid an hourly rate on top of their salaries. Their allowances are also a lot more than the pathetic perdeium we get in the US. Its closer to $8 an hour for a layover in the US. Better vacation, better insurance and a retirement. Those guys are idiots, theyd be much better off over here.

right... VA pilots are better paid than American pilots when all is said and done. $200K for typical captain..

 

[Flyby1206]

$200k/yr living in the UK or $150k/yr living in the USA. Ill bet it comes to about the same qol when you factor in the cost of living differences.

 

[HA25]

that is true... UK is pricy.

 

[cmrflyer]

Average income in uk is 22000 pounds a year, if youre make more than 5 times that you can live very well. it would be like making more than $250000 a year over here.
