America: worse than the 3rd world for pilots

[altimaklr]

Looks like low cost airline Air Asia is starting up in the Philippines. Mins for FO are 200, CPL/IR. Captain, 2500 hours on the airbus. (And before you get your hopes up, they don't hire expats.) Keep in mind, the A320 is the CRJ of Asia. most flight schools use airbus sims these days to train students.

probably not as many pilots (supply) in the Phillipines so that's why they pay more.

 

[Flyby1206]

Maybe those are yearly salary figures

Then this thread is kinda pointless, isn't it?

No.

It is important to show people like 777forever that pay packages such as ASA's Vietnam flying are totally unacceptable.

Just because the scene here in the USA is significantly underpaid for the job right now does not mean the rest of the world is a bet more appropriate.

Not singling out ASA or 777forever on purpose but it is by far the best example I can think of.
