Let’s make it even more interesting! Let’s use WA FIFO workers as a more appropriate comparison. A 19yo drillers offsider can make far more money than the average wage in a very high turnover position, s/he is compensated well not just to try (in vain) to stop them from pulling the pin but also for the varying levels of misery inflicted upon them.
Surely these factors combined with the cost of pilot training would suggest an A320 FO be provided with a few more rods!
