Dear Che,
Alot of things are historically determined, among them the way our renumeration system looks. When you have an airline than spans three countries that in it self brings the need for different solutions.
Now, the danish pay may be the highest, higher than the norwegian and the swedish. BUT, the level of renumeration reflects, more or less, the cost of living in each country(we also have three currencies, and what about 'kursreguleringsaftalen' cap10, care to comment?) The standard of living is at least as high in norway and sweden, if not higher. Look at the number of norwegians and swedes who have managed to get based in copenhagen and STILL live in their native countries. That is the best deal of all, somewhat higher pay, much lower taxes, cheaper houses and cars.
The underlying reason is that 'arbejdsgiverafgifter'/social taxes are much higher in norway and sweden. The TOTAL tax level among the three countries is probably more or less the same. However, in denmark I just have to pay more of MY pay towards taxes than they do in norway and sweden. That's just the way it is.
Regards,
Ramrise
