TFM, yupp I read it again after I posted, as it seemed to be not so easy to understand. Liked your way of clarifying the 2 different angles a lot better
.
So let`s get the facts straight then; salary
with a TR at NAS is higher than all else in Norway. Salary
without a TR (NAS gives you one) is lower than both Lufttransport and WF (not sure about SAS, but I think they`re around 300000). The difference is that with LT, WF and SK you don`t have to ask the bank for money (or your rich uncle for that matter) when it`s time for employment. Heck, those crazy kids even pay you to do their TR
.
Excemption; if you already have flown the 737 and didn`t have to put money up front to begin with.
As I previously mention - it`s about what suits the individual pilot best. And it`s not only about salaries for a lot of pilots. It`s also about "the whole package" offered by the given company. Still offended? Sorry dude.
