I would dare say that $29K if you have your ATPL's is a lot less than an eagle co.
If you also throw in EAG allowances and the fact that we get the 3% rise per year and staff travel I would say its a hell of alot better.
Also with the jump to command being about 18months at the moment the pay isn't to bad.
But this isn't a slagging match
Good luck
