yep, the salary is not really competitive. The attraction for some is the potential to be a wide body captain within 4 to 5 years. Yippee! After that the package becomes less competitive over time.
one is flying a very old technology aeroplane and the schedules, at present are pretty awful.
days off are pretty good but it can be very demanding being away from home for so long (let's not even talk about the initial training period)
It could be a very good contract with some changes, whether these ever happen, time will tell.
