Stop this crap.
An Air France 'Commandant de Bord' (Captain) will get a maximum of 15000€ per month which is equivalent to approx. 7-8000 BHD
An Air France 'Officier Pilote de Ligne' (FO) will get a maximum of 8000€ per month which is equivalent to approx. 4-5000 BHD
So the GF new package is competitive, especially if you don't forget that Bahrain is way cheaper than Paris, Dubai or Hong Kong.

BD,
Hey I'm not trying to spread lies here. I just had lunch with an Air France captain who has been a good family friend for the last 15 years or so. We were comparing salaries as I'm a Us Airways A320 FO and he told me that he makes 20,000 Euros per month flying 65-80 hours as an A330/340 Captain. Who knows maybe he lied...? I doubt it. He's also an instructor so maybe his instructor status gives him an extra 5,000 Euros. I don't know?
Congratulations on the pay raise everyone! A move in the right direction. Maybe it will catch on in the US where our pay has been stagnating for years...
