They want pilots who are happy to accept these conditions in return to fly a modern biz jet for 17 days around the globe, three times.
I think everyone can agree that the salary is very low but the point is that many people receive money as if the salary was double (due to tax loop holes). Because of that there is no pressure on VJ to increase the salaries and as most people these days are employed in south Europe very few people have money as a problem. People join VJ as there is no other or very few other jobs around. When I worked for VJ several ex owner pilots joined and said the European owners market is not very good. But that was many years ago now but don't think it has changed that much.
