Pilot Job Offer & Contract Comparison Pack – FlightDeck Career Tools

Compare pilot job offers properly — beyond just the salary.

A higher monthly salary does not always mean a better job.

The Pilot Job Offer & Contract Comparison Pack is a practical Excel workbook designed to help pilots and flight crew compare employment offers across the areas that actually affect their career, finances and lifestyle.

Instead of trying to compare different contracts from emails, PDFs and notes, this toolkit brings everything into one structured decision system.

Inside the workbook you’ll get:

• 4-offer comparison dashboard

Compare multiple job offers side-by-side.

• Financial value calculator

Compare salary, allowances, estimated deductions, employer-paid benefits, training costs and other expenses.

• Multi-currency comparison

Convert offers into one base currency using your own current FX rate.

• Weighted decision scoring

Score each offer across compensation, lifestyle, security, progression, benefits, location, training-bond risk and tax/admin complexity.

• Contract checklist

Review important employment terms including notice periods, probation, training bonds, accommodation, insurance, leave, tax responsibility, visas and termination clauses.

• Lifestyle & roster comparison

Compare days on/off, commuting, standby, night duties, annual leave, accommodation, family fit and roster predictability.

• Questions & Red Flags tracker

More than 25 due-diligence questions covering compensation, contracts, training, roster, tax, benefits and company stability.

• Decision & negotiation planner

Record pros, cons, dealbreakers, negotiation targets and the conditions you want resolved before accepting.

The workbook automatically helps identify:
