Imran K. 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2007 No wonder the pilot in my interview panel asked me if i would leave to Emirates.. <_> Ultimately...i guess everybody in any profession will "follow the money"...if MAS managed to match EK's offer...im sure many pilots would rather stay with MAS. Did you guys know that MAS actually pays their expat engineers more than EK engineers? Roughly 8 EK engineers have left for MAS. Brennan, What was your answer? Were you truthful? or did you tell them what they supposedly wanted to hear? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did you guys know that MAS actually pays their expat engineers more than EK engineers? Roughly 8 EK engineers have left for MAS. Economics 101. Market price, market value, supply and demand. But it is not the "best money", it is more of the "best offer". That includes personal preference, living condition etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seth K 3 Report post Posted February 17, 2007 (edited) I dunno, money does has value, after all that's why we work for? I beleive money is the reason why most ppl leave the company. Thous working condition can be the major reason as well, but it's all come down to money If it's not about money, I dun think I'll be here(Malaysia) anyway........ and love of course...

What is you say is correct macha.. but like Khaled said if you want a Ferari in front of your house then its a different story altogether.. My point is, money should not be your main concern when you are choosing or looking for a job . Thats why i said i wont leave.. Most pilots who leave have different reasons.. and on the other side of the fence, you still see pilots sticking with the airline.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 Plus, leaving is not as easy for pilots with families. Imagine the sacrifice they are making to work elsewhere. Good point, Dante; when KLM uk merged with KLM cityhopper, plenty of good paid British pilots stayed in the UK and fly nowadays for airlines like Easyjet, Ryanair or Jet2 for less pay, rather than moving to the Netherlands Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, money is a huge factor, if flying was not as rewarding, do you think many would wanna fly for a living? It's a high-risk job! I would so trade my job right now to earn THOSE salary...base checks, staying healthy, I'd do that ANYTIME! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Ho 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2007 Most people says that pasion is bullsh*t.Try becoming a pilot for life and risk it for rm 2000 a month for life.i bet not many will even think about it.We have lost so many of our best pilots in mas to middle east carriers.And almost everyone cited money as the reason they move.if not,they would not have sacrifice and go over to a foreign land.

For some people, having a Ferrari in front of their house is money wisely spent !! It's just that you and I apparently do not subscribe to that belief (yet ?!)

Radzi 2 Report post Posted February 23, 2007 There is money you NEED, and then there is money you WANT. If you have RM 1000 a month, you'll need more to live comfortably. If you have RM 1 000 000 a month,that is more than you'll need to live comfortably. Whether you'll want more, that is a different thing altogether. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Victor Goh 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2007 I see a lot of argument about money here.. Well, that's a huge factor affecting our life of course! But has anyone thought of how long one could be on this earth? My point is that i see a lot of people saying the phrase "Earn A Living". Those are people who look highly on $$$. For me (of course a lot won't agree with me), i only told myself this, if i'm going to sleep in a coffin tomorrow, i'll make sure i had did the best thing in my life today. For me, that "best thing" will be having 4 stripes on my shoulder, flying an Airbus with my crew.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
