I think the deal is ok after all, if we talk about the pay.
Who says that pilots should earn so much more money than others?
If I as FO could cash (living in Sweden) about SEK 30,000 after all social taxes and income tax is paid, that equals a salary of 45,000 on a "normal" payslip. That is a very good salary in Sweden. I am very happy with that.
That's much more than the starting salary at SAS even if you pay a few thousand to your own pension. Also, do 5 years at university in Sweden and you'll end up with much less.
I just hope to get to the screening soon.
