"Market rate?!?" Hahahaha! Obviously the management do not understand what NET pay is. Where did these guys go to school? Mickey Mouse Academy? Just across the pond, in Korea and China, the published pays are net. Meaning, AFTER taxes. In Korea it's about $16,000 US + 35% of your yearly salary and China is 45%. You do the math to see what the gross comes out to.
Nevermind me comparing rates with US carriers in my earlier post. Let's compare apples to apples within the pilot contract world. We are still way, way behind the pack. Market rate....ha!
