Thanks Typhoon! I realize that but I guess it all lifestyle. A few months back I talked to a retired AC 747 captain who was complaining he couldn't retire on a yealy pension of over $200,000!!! And I thought to myself I may never even make that kind of money flying nevermind as a pension. I personally would be grateful to be working for a great airline such as Emirates (ranked #2 in the world) IT would be nice if an Emirates employee showed alittle pride in their company.
My parents don't make much... together they make about $80,000CDN. Theres taxes ontop. But anyways. We enjoy a 2500sq.ft. home, my sister and I both attend post secondary institutes, and my parents just bought her a car and they help me with my flight training and all in all I am grateful for what I got and I think if they can keep a $390,000 home on their salary, I think Emirates pilots can do pretty well. But then again my dad may never drive a Ferrari but thats not a necessity its a luxury and there are more important things to look after.
