While I realise that this is no comfort for any expat in Eastern Europe, I can't help but wonder why people lose the big picture all the time. Pilot salaries in that part of the world are scaled towards the overall standard of living even in the best of times, let alone when COVID survival mode is on. The mean or the minimum salaries in Greece for any job are not even close to those in Western Europe or in the Middle East (with living costs obviously also being lower). Pilots are no exception.
