Icarus:
talking about numbers between 20% and 60% as an adequate pay increase
and
People would still go to other jobs as quickly as the market allows.
With the greatest respect, which one is your argument, market forces or market forces?
I am sick of hearing the same old...

"NO MATTER WHAT YOU PAY A PILOT, THEY WILL ALWAYS LEAVE"

Total and utter, illogical, ideological bullsh!t.

And hello dear (ex) manager! It's truly about to bite you on the ar5e!
  • If you pay me $300,000 pa I WON'T leave. I will sign a bond to that effect. 10 years, 15 years whatever you want!
  • If you pay me $52,000 pa and burn me out, I WILL leave.
  • If you pay me $180,000 pa and burn me out, I WILL leave.
So somewhere in there, guess what! There IS a salary/lifestyle/fatigue level which will retain and attract me. How much? What conditions?

Let Market Forces decide.
