Another sad pilot trying to justify the T &C of the past in today’s world. Since the 1990s there has been a gradual decline in pay across the board, blame the LCC, blame the travelling public, whatever.
The HKE CN package is $128k a month for 70 hrs, can someone put up an Aussie LCC or European LCC for comparison? I looked at the Norwegian package for the 787 a couple of years ago and it was ugly. Way worse than what HKE is paying for a A320 skipper. In this neck of the woods the HKE package is better than the Vietnam airlines or Cebu contract jobs.
Or better still pull apart a 2020 China contract. The days of big money while doing nothing are sadly over. You get paid when you work.
Go back to Microsoft flight sim in mommy’s basement or put up a 70 hrs a month package that’s better. As a contract pilot I’d be happy to see it.
