Bad air sucker
what is it about my posts that bothers you? I am just quoting the numbers, nothing else. If you want to be pissed off with me for pointing out that EK pay more than CX thats your prerogative.
At the end of the day pilots care about 2 things. When we get the window seats and how much we earn over a career. EK beats CX on both counts. Until a few years ago CX beat EK on career earnings! But EK has averaged 3-5% payrises a year whereas CX has averaged 0% a year since 2nd half of 2001.
I enjoy my job at CX - but I was lucky enough to join on A scales. I can't in good faith recommend this job to any aussie knowing what the alternatives are. In order for CX to be competitive it would take a 20-30% payrise for B scales. Not likely!
Badairsucker, you started off telling me my figures were wrong. So I quoted my numbers. You didn't like my assumptions, so I started taking out all pro EK assumptions and leaving in pro CX assumptions. After all that you just write off what I say as bollox and say you don't want to continue this irrelevant discussion. I am more than happy to compare numbers and facts with you or anyone else. I like to keep things logical and numerical as I find emotive posts don't lead us anywhere useful. If you would like any more info post here or PM me!
