In the US, some junior pilots are making in the low $20,000s and sleeping on couches at the airport. Veterans are sleeping in campers in the airport parking lot. I want mine to get a nice, quiet rest in a comfortable hotel and not stay up all night playing pachinko or mahjong so he (almost 100% of pilots in Japan are men) can trade his winnings for lunch money. I want intense competition for prestigious, highly paid pilot slots so only the most capable get the job.

additional retirement bonus for a certain amount determined on an annual salary formula(example, average of highest 3 years of earnings), the number of years of service, and a percentage factor.
