Guys, I was so disheartened this morning.
I spoke with a friend who is an A321 FO with a major airline in Europe. As is common we brought up the salary subject. I found out that he makes 38% more than me. I am a captain since over 8 years in EK. He then went on to tell me that if he works one day off he can pocket an extra 20% of my basic pay...I realise that he has to pay taxes and accommodation, but nevertheless it is really hard to hear these things for me. On top of that he does a big fat ZERO night flights every month... I wish I could say the same.
A captain in his airline makes more than double what I make, and therfore a 40-50% tax doesn't really hurt that much.
So depressing...
