Liftdumper,
Please , do not insist!!...
1. There are jobs in Europe , paying more for new joiners. Some don`t even take in consideration your experience. Easyjet pays more than 1500 euros.
2.Even if there were no options , it`s awful to see that you don`t have your horizons wide enough to realize that the lower the new joiners salary the lower will be yours. If they started with 4000 , probably your salary would be also higher.
3.Of course he has to accept th job.But as said before , it does not mean he has to be happy with his T&C.
4.Unfortunately there are many people who think like you(been counter mentality) , and this is the reason why our pofession is the way it is.
5. I hope that , since this guy has to settle for this T&Cs , at least he doesn`t have to fly with Capts like you.
