Tiger v. Virgin
Have heard the same figures for Tiger (Tiger propose - $119k as a base + $73/hr up to 1000 hrs ) This is simply an industrial "tool" used to cicumvent the calculations that pilots use their calculators for, with these sort of payscales in place even if you are doing lots of hours your pay is very unpredictable which makes you less attractive to financing organisations and as for annual leave (rumoured to be four weeks) you would have to set up your own slush fund to cover the leave short fall, sounds like a scam to me, but then they are just trying to play the best game they can, choice is yours.
