Salaries good but taxes and living costs VERY high, hence money saving ability not good. Lots of short sectors and high hours in busy airspace, after fifth early in a row you will be very tired, getting up at 4.30am in the middle of winter not so great.

Low cost = low benefits. Crew meals, ID travel, insurance etc

Come to India, salary paid nett of tax, free luxury accommodation, low cost of living, ID travel, 10 weeks on 2 weeks off. Spend the off time on the beach in Thailand, South of France etc

Sounds great
