Pilots' salaries represent about 1-2% of the price of a passenger's ticket for the LCC's, and 2-3% of a normal carrier's pax ticket!
Err... You may want to rethink that one Kap. As the average fare for the LCC I work for is less than half that of a major, and you are saying I get paid a smaller percentage of that ticket, I would therefore be getting 1/3rd or 1/4 of what a pilot in the major makes.
In fact my salary is very similar to my equivalent in, say, BA or BMI (a little less certainly, and with fewer benefits), but actually represents a larger percentage of the over all yeild of the flight.
By the way, both my Australian and JAR licenses list my 737 rating as "737 300-900". (Endorsement is a uniquely Australian term and, as I take it redline works for easyJet, he would already be flying the NG)
