Are the Chinese going to push Pilot salaries up?
I have been looking at the pilot market recently and see it's is finally picking up again.
The Chinese need lots of pilots and I can see their packages for expats increasing around 10-25% in next few years to get people to join. Probably lots of Australian, New Zealand and South American pilots will leave Middle Easter carriers to go East.
Doctors and also other professions have seen significant increases in their salaries over the last ten years, maybe it's time pilots had a bit of a break.
We seem to be working longer hours for less pay. Let's hope the Chinese help things to improve.
What do you guys out the think of the situation?
