What is all this A1 A2 A6 stuff I've never heard of any of this before, must be asking the wrong people My friend qualified as a Kinder-Garden teacher in England and get's about 350CYP/month top's, and I know she work's well over 35 hour's/week....She went to the Labour office to complain and there is an "investigation" going on(since June by the way) ....I will keep you updated.....

So OB1 you are saying that i can't live a descent live with that salary ? It was< my first impression that the tax was kinda low. And I'm certainly not going to rent a car. is their a site which can calculate how much tax you have to pay ?

[Mikros]

Angel Eyes, the A scale is the official salary scale that is used to classify the public salaries. This scale is not used for the private sector. As for the complaint, sorry my friend but these are the salaries for kind-teachers in the private sector. I'm afraid you won't get an answer...

Travelling to/from Cyprus on id90 tickets its not so easy as it seems. A return ticket cost around 900 danish kroner, and from there you have to pay yourself. Timing is not easy from Luton/Gatwick/Heathrow ect... if you are travelling with Ryan Air or Easy jet. Sometimes you need to go from one to another airport by bus. It took me almost 19 hours. A return ticket from Denmark to Larnaca/Pafos will cost you everything from 3000 to 5000 kroner. 2500 pr month, its too low, if you tell me, i would never accept it.

If I'm right she was talking about 2500EU not kroner, mate!

Yeah I guess you'd rather work around Billund airport in freezing temperatures right according to Amadeus there are plenty of flights out of Cyprus. I'm not goeing to Cyprus earning the big bucks.. I know the wage is lower than the rest of EU and from what I get now. I do it because I want to try something else for a period of time. If I can live a normal live and get some sun it is good enough for me at the moment.

OK Kenneth, if you don't understand when people tell you something in a nice way - I will tell it to you straight. I can assure that we will not make you feel welcome here if you come to work on that crap money. You are putting pressure on everybody’s salary. Salary’s are different in aviation so don’t compare with people with other skils.
