breakfastburrito,I don't hate anyone or any group and I'm certainly not jealous of any group ,pilot or otherwise.
I also am not a troll as you suggest.Instead I am pointing out the obvious and that is the difference in one of the comparative crew costs between a legacy airline and a LCC.
Let's consider a hypothetical situation
An organisation owns both a legacy airline and a LCC
.
They both employ the same number of pilots and for this example let's say 500.
Let's use an average difference in gross pay between the two pilot groups of $100,000 per pilot then the total difference is $50,000,000.If you are suggesting that the difference is negligable then you are not being honest.
Add to that super,LSL,annual holidays not too mention paying for your own endorsement and you get the picture.It is a significant amount.They have already got their pound of flesh with Cabin Crew on a different award and achieved a huge cost saving as well as ground staff.The only thing I am saying is that the company would love to do the same with pilots.
