What is good coin?
The job i'm in at the moment pays over half of what these captains are getting (before tax, even better off after) on an aircraft 20 times smaller. I'm also at home the majority of the roster with an average of 30 duty hour weeks, no back of the clock work and the company pays all expenses (endorsement, training, uniform, parking etc...). I would have to take a cut of at leats 50% for the crz FO position and still lose if I trade for an FO position.
I can't see how the remuneration is adequate considering the increased responsibility on much longer sectors to international locations whilst toasting in cosmic radiation. Maybe a lack of education is a requirement.
