Ek is not a contract gig, but yes many are. The American labor groups are actually dragging the global pay down not up. What crj pilots are paid here is unheard of abroad.
Nai is not only contract but third party as well so nai is starting a flag of convenience situation in the airlines like the ships have now. Everyone touts the contract pay but if the whole industry migrates to a model of planes and certificate reside in Namibia but hub is in Atl your head will spin when us labor law no longer applies
