Are Pilots Valued and How Great is that Value?
Captains and First Officers, how do you feel you are valued relative to you colleague sat next to you in the cockpit by airline management/accountants. Does a First Officers feel they are paid relatively well or not compared to a Captain taking into account experience levels and vice versa? If an airline has € x to pay for two pilots up front, how would you fairly divide the pay 60:40 or 70:30. How do airlines decide this? Are pilots de-valuing themselves by accepting lower T's and C's or is it down to market forces or a combination of both?
