The SSK,
So the usually well-informed ATC specialist who told me €20,000 monthly for 100 working days a year was telling a HUGE porky pie, obviously.
Obviously...
As I'm not an expert in porky pies, I'll refrain from making comments on usually well-informed ATC specialists.
However, I dare say I'm fed up with misinformation !
Being a French air traffic controller in an ACC, I work around 100 days per year.... and 25 nights. Each being 10 hours long (average).
I earn 6,500€ per month (minus 25% income taxes, which is my problem as French citizen) after 22 years in the job and I'll never hit a 2 figures K€.
Now, you can say you got the information from a particularly well-informed ATC professional and start comment knowingly.
Anyway, French controllers' wages were not the issue, as this industrial action was part of a pan-european outcry.
