Europe ain't Europe anymore and I can't make a respectable income there anymore. I literally make 6 times as much in the ME.
And governments don't seem to care, we are no longer the Western world with high standards unfortunately.
2700 nett as CPT. I made that captaining a VFR SET. You can make triple that sitting in the right seat working for a decent airline. If you are only chasing bottom feeding ACMI wet lease operations from Eastern Europe then please stop complaining. Just ask yourself why you did go there in the first place. Enjoy the Middle East! You’ll love it!
