Litebulbs - If you are employed by BA then you will be able to roughly work out the estimated average gross salary of the pilots. If you are not employed by BA, it would not take a great effort to gather enough stats to make a very reasonable guess at what the average line pilot might make.
Either way, to suggest I make enough money to not miss a week or month's salary, as the poster was inferring, was more than enough to p1$$ me off tonight.
And, as I'm in a cranky mood, if you intend to single me out again, as you did in the title of your post - Buter is my real name, not a forum alias, so please do me the courtesy of capitalizing it.
My cot is now clear of all toys so I shall bid you all goodnight and dream about where to go and what to do with my unpaid leave.
Cheers
Buter
