Sorry, the OP's point is rubbish. The pay scales for 2015-2016 are published on the net after a freedom of information request. 11 Scales with an out of London min of 20k to an in London max of 73k. Two Senior Management grades which are on a case by case basis, which include the Director General.
So, BBC pay for the vast majority of employees varies between GA flying instructor up to legacy airline SFO. Any Captain flying a heavy jet is a clear winner and a TRI/E is up with the BBC senior managers.
You can slag aviation off for many things, and I'd not recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a "passion" about flying, but pay is not something which most should complain about over the whole of your career.
