Go look up the amount of aircraft on order at ME airlines such as EK as an example. Not exactly LCCs and the long hours are very well rewarded with basic pay exceeding that of CX by far.
Not to mention time to command still at the 4-5 year mark, and a 5 bedroom, 3000 SQFT villa for free, all utilities paid, zero tax.
Other so called LCCs may pay peanuts, but it’s really what you take home at the end of the day and working for nice people that matters, unlike the conniving buffoons here at CXit
