Yes. For new young pilots this is what they find when looking for a job. Eager and keen and hopefull of
a good type rating and hours on a Jet.
Salary when you are young is secundair. But this is their first pilot salary. They never saw any real salary in their life.
Than life goes on. And your costs in life. House, family, bills.....Over time new airlines emerge again and again.

These Amsterdam Level Job openings come from current BA slots, current Vueling slots, current Iberia (express) slots,
Aer Lingus slots. There is no slot capacity left in AMS. So they exchange these slots for cheaper crew flying their first
job for Level. With the same Airbus. Same landing fees, same fuel burn etc. Only cheaper crew.
They will increase profit margine and the other have to follow. Simple because money talks. Passengers want to go cheap
with this new cheap Airline. Not knowing it is IAG. And not a totaly new indipendant Airline. Same for Lufthansa. They have 14 Airlines under their belt.
you think you have a choice what to fly? Ryr now as well in Poland and with Lauda Motion. To divide and rule.
I would worry if I was in Lufthansa mainline shorthaul. In time they wil be to expensive with their package.
Only because the other are getting cheaper. It is not them getting more expensive. It is relative.
Flightschools are gearing up. But as long the salaries decline and you have to pay for a rating via what ever construction is
wrong. Boeing and Airbus like to sell their toys. But you need batteries for these toys. So they create a mind set that
the world needs thousends of pilots. Cheap pilots means a lot of new jobless pilots. More than truelly needed. But that way they keep the price of batteries down in order to sell their toys.

So that helps,

Good Luck
