Luke Sky Toddler,
I get your point regarding the US $, but don't forget to take into consideration the COST OF LIVING ! it's not how much you make that is important, but how much you spend.
$10.000 in Hanoi or India, isn't the same as Singapore or even NZ.......Again, who cares if the US dollars falls to .50c ? as long as you are not commuting in the Sates it's not a big deal.
If I follow your idea, J*' salary's would be crap in EU or even for the Sates, about if you were comparing it with India, Bangladesk, Pakistan...etc ?????? would that be a good salary if you were living in those ****ty countries? you bet!
However I agree with you on 1 point, the FO package is crap ! but as long as there are guys willing to take it, J* won't increase it.....
