I see you put your location as Cali. This brings to mind a situation that I have noticed recently with some Asian and European carriers desperate for crew. It started a few years ago when these carriers discovered that South American and Eastern European pilots are willing to work for lesser contracts than Aussies/ Brits etc.

I don't want to start a bitching session or insult anybody. It is pure economics. Guys from Brazil, Venezuela, Bulgaria etc etc can afford to work for lower salaries due to their lower living costs.

If this is the case it is dissappointing to see - it won't do the current efforts to increase wages at CX any good.
If you are actually joining from a US carrier then ignore this post - I am just trying to focus the attention on ongoing efforts by CX to find cheaper labour. Nothing personal.
