Calm down guys - I've never claimed it was a good deal, just better then flexicrew. As standalone salaries (ie, assume you have no debt), they are reasonable and competitive with a lot of airlines. As you point out, the problem comes when you have the huge debts that you must acquire to get your fATPL and type rating. It's the training costs and flexicrew that really need to be changed/abolished, not the salaries.
