I didn't realise until NYC told me, that AA 777 captains earn less than the captains here do! You mean less than $7,700 per month because that's what you get here? Then you add the flight pay. ONLY, after you check out and not while you are on vacation. So, at $33 an hour at 70 hours per month (10.5 months a year) that equals about 24,300 plus 92,400. Total per annum of around 117,000.
With no pension plan and most importantly, no sick leave to speak of. Get sick here and after 2 weeks you're on half your basic salary and after 4 you're on nothing for a bit before they decide whether to continue with your employment.
And, OK, gas is cheap. But this is a place where a bag of torn lettuce leaves is 10 bucks American.
On the positive side, the airline has a bunch of nice people working for it and the equipment is very shiny. Destinations are good and there's a reasonable chance if you shine in the sim, you'll get the left seat after 4 years.
Qatar is OK. But if you're used to doing something on your days off, forget it. And the roads, well....
Don't come here for the money.
