I wouldn't be so quick to shoot him down Mr Buzzy V have individual contracts so if you were a Emirates 777 driver you might have been able to negotiate something in your favour at the beginning as CASA would have wanted a certain percentage of folk with time on type. However I agree the average V Captain is nowhere near that sort of salary.
I find the lack of comprehension of the market forces, on behalf of some of the posters on this forum simply astounding!
However these market 'forces' are somewhat skewed by those who are independently wealthy from working at foreign airlines or those who will accept any contract just to escape the country they are currently living in.
