Morno, just a couple of weeks ago you stated that you would grace Alliance with an application if the captain pay was 200K.
In 1987 I was making $80K flying a 36 passenger Dash-8. That’s 35 years ago to fly 1/3 the load half as fast.
I am acquainted with the building industry here in Qld. There are carpenter jobs going right now for $120/hr. That’s what you have to measure yourself against. Secondary school drop out plasterers on $98/hr. Which is $200K.
It vexes me mightily when pilots undervalue their skill set, to say the least of the sober dedication this job demands.
