Pilot wages VS other jobs
Hi all,
I'm a little bit wondering, I read here in another topic that a captain of Ryanair earns 45k pounds a year. A lot of people think it's not enough to be a captain (I don't have any knowledge of other airlines)...
But if I look for example to the salary of an engineer here in Belgium who has done 5 years of college/university they are happy to get 1700€ net a month and a car, which is far less than the captain with RYR. Ok you don't start as a captain, but what does a F/O earn then with ryanair?
Do they pay the engineers not enough here or is it just me that I have the feeling that the 45k pounds with ryanair (or take any other airline) is a lot of money?
I always read here that wannabe's should get an other job and earn more, but if I see those wages, you'll never- or with a lot of luck- hit the 6000€ a month mark with being an engineer over here....
Greetings
