The bench mark salary for heavy jet captain on a contract needs to be around 18k to match the Chinese offers out there and ME carriers to some extent when you add in the perks. But if you need a job mates of mine seem to think its ok.
Remove half of it in tax, reduce the amount by a large portion since it's just a lie until you sign the contract (written in chinese btw) and add the cockroaches in the nice hotels, also that the FO that doesn't speak a word of english and even has his QRH written in Chinese. You are now comparing apples with apples.
