It made me wonder, what is the ultimate salary that will make us peelots sh!t happy? I know for sure it's not all about money, but wether morally correct or not, money is an object.

I'll start my bid at 18000$ for captains salaries, fellow co-pilots feel free to set your goal.

For $18000, you can sit in the right seat, at least!

Very interesting article. But as long as people work on days off, or call to get open flights or do free work and get a nice free thank you from the company I don't see things get much better. Remember It will never be a negotiated process around here. It has to be much worst than it is now to see 18000$ for a Captain... If only pilots would be money smart then they would be in the driver seat. But after 20 years + in the business, time as showed me the contrary and the industry standards are being eroded by bean counters ( trained and paid to be money smart ) that keep eroding pilots conditions while company is announcing record breaking profits while the barrel of petrol is at the highest in history...
Keep up the great work

$18,000 for a captain. That is 6 months salary for a Canadian.
What is the rest of the world going to fly for though?
