It is getting better for sure but not enough. Considering and knowing these numbers are gross Captain on the top of the scale should made around 14K so he can bring home around 8K after tax. So imagine the money saved by those companies.
ACMI's nowadays lacking significant amount of pilots. Only way to cover their operations for the summer to increase the salaries but in long term change their mentality toward their flight crew. Many people already escaped from those companies for last couple of months. Many of them opt for lower salaries but stable companies where they have certain income all year around with legal local contracts. Some of them still stays no matter what but each of them have different circumstances and reasons to do so.
