Should a pilot be thankful for getting a job to fly for WizzAir/Ryanair/Norwegian/etc getting 1000€ a month (or like someone said, McDonalds pay)?
Yes, in my opinion, when alternative is working at McDonalds for that money, NOT getting TR and NOT getting hours.
So that's where we are at as a "profession": it's not quite as bad as working at McDonalds.
A bit of an unfair comparison really, bearing in mind that McDonalds abide by relevant working regulations, offer a decent and competitive salary, a well defined career structure etc.
Still, while there are starry eyed idiots ready to prostitute themselves to the airlines, while believing that it's acceptable to accept "€1000 a month" to act as second in command of a jet transport aeroplane, comparing pilot terms and conditions favourably to those of fast food service staff will quickly become a mere pipe dream.
