Are you Brazilian? (just curious)
Thousands of unemployed guys isn’t exclusivity of Brazil. Just look at the furloughs in the US, look here at PPRuNe for the UK and rest of EU guys struggling along. Those guys up there will at some point do the “fly for food” stunt if necessary, one or another because they can’t stand sitting on the ground but others because they have rents, children and so on. It all depends on which side of the line you are, employed or unemployed looking desperately for a job.
That are a lot of rated guys in companies that can’t even say good morning in English that’s also true. I met some 737 people that could only read the checklist, but they a have a job and I don’t so….
The pay is really what Samuel Adams and lbh320 said, that converted to our currency isn’t that bad, but still below international standards - that I must say are going down rapidly for that matter. I heard that Varig was not paying the full salary again, like they did last year.
