Elal pilot salary
Interesting Hebrew article:
https://www.ynet.co.il/economy/article/ryEh0Orbw
Average salary for an Elal pilot (there are 630) is $27.8K/month which does not include reimbursement for expenses such as hotels and per-diem for being abroad.
How does this compare with other airline pilots?

Ok but remember that averages/means take into account the extremes on both ends (which is why the median is always a better measure of central tendency) and many regional pilots make pennies compared to their long-haul counterparts

El Al pilots ongoing labor dispute
https://passportnews.co.il/%D7%98%D7...-%D7%94%D7%92/
Pilots union is suing the Histadrut labor union and El Al over the agreement the Histadrut signed on behalf of the pilots during the corona crisis. From what I recall the pilots union had boycotted the talks so i dont see that they could have much of a case here.

The standard captain rate is around $300-350k.
Considering the $100k training cost (El Al doesn't need more pilots than the IAF can provide) in addition to a four-year university degree, anything less than $200k annually after becoming established with the company is quite low.
