The local contract basic salary is still poor by industry standards and KEF is not a cheap place to live. Pity really - they seem like a reasonable outfit but they don't want to pay the money. Parc contract claims that you can get up to 9.5k basic if you're experienced. Those I know that have been through selection say you need to be a 320 test pilot, having retired from the NASA shuttle program to get anywhere near that. Those with 15 years on the bus currently being offered in the region of 7.5k gross.
