Can't believe that some people still think FR pilots are the best paid in Europe.. Maybe if every other airline in Europe stops paying their pilots pension contributions, Health Care, loss of license etc etc, then their claim will be valid..

Hey by the way Master of the English language... you can't require an application to do anything. An application is usually a piece of paper. Maybe what you meant to say is that it should be a requirement, for all individuals in our field such as pilots and controllers alike, to read, to write, to speak, and most important, understand the English language.
