Any company can give the best of the salaries but if you are taxed heavily it is not the company's fault that you have less left at the end of the month.
That is why I ask who is the villain in the movie? Lets suppose the Oz gov would tax us very little amount. Would the salaries offered be good? In many places of Europe people have barley any money left to spend but all is covered for them, schools, health insurances, pension etc. How much can a company afford to keep people happy? It is the cost of a pilot what airlines take into account. Not how much he has left to get his BMW...That tax factor is not under their control , here in Oz or any part of the globe.
I know I know we all want to have not one but two BMW parked in the garage!!
