I left Emirates for greener pastures (much greener) and my new airline is asking for a 30% pay raise and will probably get something close to that in addition to a 25% retirement contribution. LH, BA and Qantas will also do well in the months to come.
If you set your sights low you won't get much. If you demand more you will get more. There is a worldwide pilot shortage so now is the time to take advantage of this situation that has not existed for probably 40 years.
Low pay and lot's of flying hours is not the best way for prosperity, at least not for pilots.
"Worldwide Pilot shortage".....Don't make me laugh....even Ryanair have stopped recruiting.
