In answer to your question I am neither.
Whether these people had any idea of market related salaries I am not so sure. We told the DFO a long time ago about the salaries and he acknowleged it but whether it went into the boardroom is the big question . The MD ( who is now in direct contact with the pilots forum) asked to be given a comparison of salaries from SAX and Comair, which was duly done and we await the reaction. I think they got a big fright when they were informed by flight ops that the expansion plans could not be accomadated because of lack of crew.
