These discussions are pointless unless you compare the cost of living. The Euro/Dollar exchange at 1.3 makes it look more than it really is. Having said that, he lives quite comfortably on that pay
Sweet merciful crap, that's excellent pay! When is that kind of financial security ever going cross the pond? Now that's what a captain should get paid! Lufthansa sounds like they've got it together. Is that factoring in per diem?
Ich spreche schlects Deutsche.
Maybe I can get a job their now.
