And Guys
there is a part of your salary tax free (15-20%).The rest has to be taxed.
So if you are married with kids you pay round about 30 % tax and social
insurance.This includes also medical insurance,loss of Job (Arbeitslosengeld) and goverment pension.
I dont think that any Middle East or far East Airline offer you a better deal
(Dollar/Euro).
It all depend of what you want and what you like for your family.
But this is once of the better jobs in Germany.
Maybe you make 500 to 1000 Euros more in the sandpitt or far east, but remember do you have there the same rights as in Germany or Europe or
the same social security.
Just think about it.
