alohanaia,
"Since the telescopes have been here for decades, you have to admit they haven't had the effect you're shilling for. There are always openings for anyone half skilled, but under RCUH's 'management' salaries are half what they are for the same skill on the mainland."
On another thread you posted a bunch of misinformation that was pointed out which you never responded to. Now, you post nonsense again.
Most of the staff employed by the observatories on Mauna Kea are not employed by RCUH. However, salaries have become much more even among the observatories. There are one or two hold-outs, which everyone in the astronomy community know about. The wages paid by the MK observatories however, tend to be much higher than equivalent observatories around the world.
As for paying for the same skill on the mainland, yes, that's probably true, if you work for a private corporation. The qualifications people have to get senior jobs at the observatories would likely mean they would get paid two or three times higher working in the oil industry as an example. What you forget is many people want to work for the observatories because of the job satisfaction they get from working in such a field. They want to help making incredible discoveries. IF that's not something you want to do or doesn't interest you, a job at an observatory is probably not for you.
