Dutch pension legislation has been changing a lot from 2015 onwards. Before 2015 pension was accumulated over the entire salary. This has been capped at +- €110,000 in 2015. Over the additional salary other arrangements have been met ('netto-pensioenregeling'). The Dutch pension legislation is about to completely change in 2026. Negotiations with the unions regarding this matter are about to start. Dutch pensions in general are considered among the highest and most stable in the world. |

In principle promotions based on the seniority list only. During times of severe pilot shortages however, experienced First Officers for the short/medium haul fleet have been hired from outside the company. These First Officers were put on the bottom of the seniority list, and can't earn a higher salary (based on the same age) than Second Officers who were already employed. However in the KLM salary formula, age (experience) is incorporated.
