We cannot deny that working at certain places and companies where a good system and proceedures are followed and where all the needs for workers are addressed will create an atmosphere where all will work as a team to improve productivity.Airlines manageres have many worries to maintain the standards required with their limited budgets and the increased dry operating costs.Is there an ideal place around?. with the cost of living these days we will find that the average salaries these days should'nt be less than 30,000 $ for Captains and 18000$for co-pilots.Pilots used to be the highest paid among other Professions,try and ask any major aircraft manufacturing company for support pilots and see how much they will ask for. If pilots live up to the 5 star hotels they live in and maintain thier social immage by living in the most
luxurious neighborhoods and drive latest model cars and have a nice vacation once a year with their families , have their kids at the appropriate schools and have the most convenient insurances.How much do you think is enough for just a normal life that all executives are living. We see that pilots try always to save here and there , and lower their standard to be able to live a decent life with their income. I think this year you'll see a good salary increase everywhere in the world but remember that statistics shows that 70% of the time you don't get a raise is because you don't ask for it.Happy flights to all.
