It would be nice if all pilot salaries were current DAL or Shenzen rates....., but regrettably there are middle of the road contracts like this one..., and there are way lower paid pilots competing not only on one route but in many US airports for decades now and I don't see anybody racing hell about it....!
How much you think a 787 captain at LAN or AeroMexico makes?
it would be great if we can make a coordinated effort into raising the terms and conditions for all pilots worldwide!
I'll give you another example...., PAWA Dominicana that just got approval to fly to the US...., their captains make around 4,500/M and their F/O's 2,500...., they will be competing on the JFK/SDQ...MIA/SDQ routes...!
It is sad that we as professionals would allow this to happen and not shine a light into these types of abuses towards fellow pilots.
