I think you will find that most airline guys other than qantas , in Aus, are on a reduced wage also. Supply and demand in their case.
Many entry level airline recruits are on very low wages and after all the expense of an atpl and endorsements.
For me the job is about lifestyle, not just pay, and I still consider the total lifestyle package to be good. There are however less jobs at my end of Ag, and I am still Interested in promoting the industry. There are countries where aerial ag has disapeared entirely and the wrong attitude could still see that happen here.
