There are a number of examples where you are lured in with one contract and then when it's time to sign (bridges burnt) you are presented with a contract featuring lower terms and conditions.
If it was really that easy we'd all be flying there.....
Not that easy but I have pretty much direct knowledge of many contracts there: the lowest paid is obviously the 4/4 commuting pattern. It is easy to find something like, let' say, usd 190,000 / year base salary (flat) plus usd 10,000 year loyalty bonus (flat) plus usd 10,000 year safety bonus (flat) plus allowance usd 10,000 yearly for trips and usd 8000 yearly for accommodation : so, without taking in consideration extra flight hours, a 4/4 contract gives usd 228,000 yearly net .
