NOT a joke !
Consider now AEGEAN Airlines, a member of STAR ALLIANCE where a senior FO gets 2500 E average/month net (More during summer season, much less during winter.14 salaries + out of base/perdiems + flight pay included, Total: 30K/year net). That was PRE-Covid (2019)!
If the flag carrier of Greece which happens to be a Star Alliance member, pays 2500 E a SENIOR FO (If you are new on type calculate much less than that) then the rest of the Greek companies will be based on/take as a reference that.
If you pay yourself the A320 TR you get 2500 E, if not subtract 300 E/month while if you are new on type then the reference is not 2500 E but significantly lower. 2500 E average/month net is for senior FO (> 1500 h on type).
efood delivery workers (scooter-bike riders) who are not flying a 90 M machine, during one week strike, they achieved better conditions when they defended their contracts. ''Bending over'' type of pilots are always an amazing present/gift for every management/company.
There are other ''career'' opportunities/paths that generate much more money while ''bending over''...
