Are these correct or is he trying to turn the punters against the pilots by making them seem like overpaid madonnas?
Captain scheduled hourly rate on contractor used to be 140,5€/h.
So 900h*140,5=126450€ (900h used to be unlikely, maybe now everybody will fly those 900h, ie around 930h scheduled block = 130665€)
And you have to pay for everythinh like already mentioned (pension , social security, company id, uniform, hotels for sim, etc)
