Yes Harry, the company pays on time every month, but lesser and lesser in terms of buying power since they are
1. Not always giving the step increase
2. Not adjusting the whole pay scale for inflation.
Not to forget the new deductions such as soon paying for mandatory vaccinations (confirmed by my AME). What's the next move, paying for the uniform?
Even if you come here with a relatively long plan, let's say 15 years and last that long, it's a hell of a difference in total salary over that time if you spend 5 years as FO and 10 as captain, compare to the other way around.
