about $90K per annum
Right there is your answer to the offshore/inshore conundrum.
Lets take a
conservative average of say 65K for ~2300 pilots =$149,500,000 tax bill for pilots alone. Nice little boost to profits $150M++. High fives & bonuses all around! The pilot still gets the same in the hand.
Its not the pilots that are uncompetitive, its the unsustainable tax welfare redistribute system. Will the Federal government sit back and allow it to happen?
