Conversion isn’t useful - it’s the currency in the country you live that’s important.
Of course the US airlines are booming right now - no arguments there. Was pointing out that not all airlines in Aus are paying poorly.
I have many mates who work as pilots in the US. They have been around long enough to know it’s a cycle, and they’ve been through a few of them.
In their words “the pay they’re getting now doesn’t make up for the multiple furloughs and multiple hits to their 401Ks over the years.”
Yeah look, points taken.
Although the conversion certainly helps when I go and pay my mortgage.
