I agree pilots should be paid more.
However we as pilots / employees are to blame for the salaries being low.
The airlines mentioned Qantas, Jetstar, Virgin and REX all have have no crewing problems. I'm not talking about pilots p!sssing and moaning about not having enough pilots but the last time flights were cancelled due lack of crew?
All the airlines above have hold files as in pilots waiting or wanting to work for the current cash and I would be willing to bet that most on those hold files would agree to work for less
Airlines are employers and answer to share holders and owner they will always want larger profit margins and low crewing cost is included.
Nothing will change unless pilots stop applying to work these job for that cash hence this will drive the salary up... simple supply and demand.
We are the problem
