Now those of you who are QF skippers can slam me all you want but times have changed -it's easy for you to say it's a bad deal sitting up front of your shiny jet earning $200K+ a year....
And how do you think they got to into that position?
Taking your logic, what would YOU accept for say a for a 777 command? By the sound of it anything north of 54K (plus allowances) would be acceptable, say 65K, 85K, 100K?
In case you haven't noticed,
LCC's are GA with jets as far as pilots are concerned (pay for endorsement, undercutting each other to get hours / ratings / always looking for the next operator to provide you with something more valuable in the logbook).
If all those QF skippers had followed your logic then the bar would be significantly lower than the 200K+ you claim.
But you obviously believe 200K+ is reasonable, because you desire it
Now where do I apply....
Your attitude ensures this is a figure you will never achieve, because as you attempt to undercut others to "get ahead", they will seek to do the same to you as the race to the bottom continues.
Management are sitting back reading your posts laughing into their best French champagne as they order another dozen case's with the bonuses you'll provide.
By the way 54K for a single is not the poverty line living in a capital city renting with a basic existance. Want to own property within 1.5 hour of the city or have children, forget it.
