The 200k/year guys are the 350 guys who are also in training department and/or management. The only 200k+ guy I can think of there is also the head of training. The old guys make good money, but that's not possible for someone hired today.
The "Mainline" top hourly wage for captains is €77.93 after 22 years with a 150hr/month guarantee, plus a bit of cheddar on top for "per diem" etc. And the new guys will never get to that grade, they are capped to lower max rate.
min 10 days off per month.
The European airlines are not what they were 10-20 years ago, and Norwegian is in line with the rest.
