Good point Bigpants. If BA dump 400 Senior Managers it's still one per aircraft.
Desk-Pilot, I hope you're not posting from Waterworld when there's so much to be done.
Oops, sorry, a bit early for that, though many pilots will have been at work for hours by then.
Have you noticed that most Captains are also at least 35-40, and they did'nt get to start on £40k, and most don't earn over 80k.
