That being said, would you prefer to be paid a few thousand quid more for a crap QOL? This industry sux in general - nobody will ever make money - EVER.... I'm not saying wages shouldn't go up in the future, just that expectations of even "reasonable" wages nowadays with an acceptable QOL are not too realistic.
Get paid more at Easy but fly a lot more to really boring destinations (with the exception of some of the holiday spots that you would routinely fly to on the charter carriers)... The industry has changed for the WORSE when considering fair compensation and that must be recognized by those entering the business now...
