If you compare CX with Asian airlines and not with the 64 year old captain at UPS one would get a more helpful and (slightly) less depressing picture.
Piet, you are misled that I enjoy being with CX, quite the opposite actually. The difference between you and me is that I blame the market, you blame management or co-workers.
PS
The median pay in the US pre-covid was 120 k USD. Before tax.
