Out of interest, anyone know what the starting salary is?
Its about £45k for captains and £25k for FO’s I believe which is only really appealing to locals who don’t want to move away and or people who already have wealth.
Not sure how anyone can survive on those wages over there without someone or something supplementing their income.
An FO I know who left a few years back only managed to put up with is because his parents sent him £500pm to top up his wages before he found something better.
