Why are there still so many guys out there who think CX is paying a decent salary even when looking at the figures ????

take the cpt salary freight U.S. e.g. ( I won't get into the discussion here how hard it is to even get to this point, let's assume you are a lucky guy, and you get your promotion after 5 years in the company) :

10330 US $

- Tax 35 % ( you have to pay US tax in any case!!!!)

= 6715 US $ net ( that is 5200 EURO or 3400 Sterling net !!!! )

there is no medical when retired, no dental and, if you don't live at the base ( and how could you afford to live in New York with that..) substract another 300-500 US a month travelling expenses. profit share ( with record numbers) was a whopping WEEKLY pay, there is no 13th month salary, no housing /school fee on base, no pay rise the last...., jesus,I can't remember,the only bonus you get is a humiliation in the sim every 6 month..

with paye in force in Europe soon, the figures there look similar ridiculous !!
