You are clueless about pay issues for Eastern Block pilots in Europe. They are normal wages as are entry level or DECs for Ryanair, Easyjet and alike
Tut tut, do a bit of research Captjns....you will find with Ryanair that they employ on an individual basis....the basic salary you are correct about, however the sector pay is a major area where they take the p*ss. There are plenty of eastern bloc pilots currently flying for RYR that are not even recieving sector pay! (makes up around 50% of your take home as you probably well know).
Easyjet are a different matter, they do however only pay you 90% for the first 6 months.
As one that has to try to understand the multitude of accents in UK airspace..I for one would like some of the eastern block guys to attend a few english classes
