Whilst I dont fly for a carrier, I understand , I think, the gist of this. For those who aspire to be captain with any major carrier would any of you care to tell us what your annual gross pay is? I stress gross and not net pay, including all taxable and non taxable allowances. Perhaps some budding captains may think twice. Before anyone shouts, yes I know money is not everything but it does assuage some of the feelings.
