Narrow Runway,
I've simply stated the facts.
I never implied that I am on a great deal...I merely said what I earned and how it suits our lifestyle.
It seems by the numbers you quote about your income you earn much more than I am, and at the end of the day what matters for you maybe one thing than what maybe essential for me.
I am more than happy and congratulate you on your grander pay and package at your biz company. Considering the current climate of aviation and companies going bust for spending way too much, for example 41% bonus pay? I would rather be employed by a company that has around 3 billion Euros in the bank and will be around for some time to come than get the short term bonuses etc. Whichever rocks your boat.
