Hold on to your joy stick Linebacker, unless you qualifiy for a work permit in Holland, you aint getting a job for KLM so fast. Even if you do, its going to be eons before you see that kind of dough. By the way Air France has a major stake in KLM too. If Air France starts feeling that financial pinch, KLM guys will be displaced to make way for the Air France guys.

But its nice to dream

Qantas also makes around 300k Australian dollar, which is around 220k US. I wonder how taxes work in other countries.

You need to talk to your accountant about taxes.

Good luck going down there to try and fly for them. Ever wonder why so many guys ever came from Australia/NZ in the 90's to the US and fly when it was a relatively easy process as compared to now?

The immigration laws down there are not exactly friendly to skilled labor.

I was just saying that Qantas pilots make a nice dollar.
