Very interesting topic, but at the end of the day it is not what you get paid, rather it is about what kind of life that buys you and how much you have left at the end of the year!
Me; Northwest Caribbean, 30 years with company, 73 Capt. $12K a month, no real pension, high cost of living environment leaves me with about $ 30K at the end of year and the US Dollar is going to hell in a basket!
Yes I’m better off then many, but I’m a Pilot, so I’ll bitch anyway, its certainly not as good as it used to be!
