I completely agree DUXNUTZ. I have followed these VA threads on proon for quite a while just seeing how it would all pan out- but if those figures posted above are true- then the people in charge of setting those amounts need to have their heads read!! If cruise F/O pilots ( more so than FO's or Capts) accept those conditions then they need their heads read even more!!

So you have just spent upwards of 60K MINIMUM to get a CPL, busted your guts to get 1000 hours or whatever you need as minimum for a cruise F/O with CPL only, and then you get paid as much as a JUNIOR Flight Attendant- to act as a tech crew on one of the most advanced heavy jet aircraft in the world. All I can say is....what a deal!

Pilot prostitution has hit new lows. From those of us who WERE planning on getting into jet jobs eventually, I heartily thank those who are accepting these conditions for making sure that these conditions become the NEW NORM in the future.
