AIX guys quit coz the pay was bad, why will AIX not pay the same to locals?

************

This is India ! And 95% of the comapnies the expats get paid more - not just in aviation but elsewhere are well.

I remember when Sabena started services to Chennai shortly before they went bust, they had hired local cabin crew who were paid a fraction of what their western colleagues flying on the same flight were getting paid!

"Local Terms" - I think is the word used here in India for such practices. Ofcourse all the technical niceties will be observed - the people at the bottom rung will not be employees as such of the organisation - but of a "associate" or "subsidiary" et all!

Come on , Left Wing - Dont tell me you are not aware of this! With a few exceptions, this is the norm in India!
