Hi guys,
I was just wondering how pilot remuneration benefits have changed over the years due to various factors. The world is a dynamic place and I think main concern in the very near future might be the influx and impact of Low Cost Carriers (LCCs).
Was reading a report from fortune magazine on the US budget airlines (Southwest being one of the most successful ones) getting a bigger piece of pie each progressive year. Airlines like Ryan air and Easyjet probably needs no introduction in Europe too, not to mention the startups of Tiger Air, Valuair, Air Asia, Jetstar, Virgin blues in Asia Pacific.
Just curious how the pay scales are like for pilots of such LCCs and if anyone may want to add some foresight on how this emerging industry is going to affect mainstream pilot remuneration since staff cost is probably second only to fuel and/or maintainance.
Also, if anyone is able to provide a list of pay versus airlines for curiousity sake, it'll be greatly appreciated!
