Hang on a minute FlyingStone.
1. Your theory about training captains checking these numpties is rubbish for a start. Pressure will be applied as and when necessary by the company, and checkers will be brought into line, or shifted.
2. I earn 20,000 usd a month (total package), pre tax, which is 16% in my neck of the woods. So, I'm walking away with about 17k usd a month (salary plus housing allowance/equity).
Pushing hours, t and c's? I work 12 days a month, 18 OFF, about 75-80 duty hour a month.
Guess where I live in SE Asia!
I'm not afraid to wave my willy around. More of us should. Maybe then these idiotic new joiners would realise what sort of package (!) they should be demanding.
In the meantime, stand by for some smoking holes in the ground...
SFO anyone?
Examine yourselves, and be ashamed. Idiots.
