a
VB training captain was being paid the same or slightly less than a QF and Ansett F/O.
Just out of interest, how much does an ANSETT F/O. get paid these days?
a friend recently gave up being a Metro Captain because his teenage son earns more than him as a Junior Manager at KFC.
I'm sorry but does anybody here really think that they would prefer working at KFC than flying? If your friend is that dissatisfied with flying AND jealous of his own son, that he would rather work for KFC than fly, well it is probably a good thing that he has left aviation and created a vacancy for someone else who wants to be there for the right reasons.
Job satisfaction is not just about the dollars. That is one aspect of it, but it is not the be-all and end-all.
