Dude, seriously. You're just not seeing what I'm saying. Your salary is irrelevant. The fact that your company cannot actually afford (in the world of actual financial reality, as opposed to SAA make believe fairyland) to pay you (any of you, not only pilots) what you earn is relevant. I don't have a CV at SAA. I don't want to work for what they are now. Sorry. Deal with it. I'm not jealous of you anymore than I'm jealous of anybody else who earns more than me. More money is always nice, but I earn what I consider is a reasonable salary. It's sustainable, it's based on reality. I like that. I don't expect you to understand, just accept it. And when I said 'pay cut' I was talking about financial reality - the fact of the matter is, in the world of supply and demand, you could take a pay cut, the company would save money, and still have enough crew to do the job. That's all I was saying. Relax.
