Looks like Cruise is well aware of the T&C and the charter/IT lifestyle. I, for one, am happy that he has finally joined the airline of his choice - good job. And let's face it - nobody's gonna get rich in this business.... Hopefully wages will increase in time but I wouldn't bet on it...
Comments by Longstay and others are not helpful and actually seem very arrogant and condescending. Wages/benefits aside, you could at least congratulate the guy for reaching his goal...
