Have you seen the recently quoted rates for two jobs that serve the major airports?
Gatwick Express drivers are being offered £37,000 pa but are striking for more.
London tube drivers are getting £32,000 and as much squash playing as they like.
Just work out how long it would take to train pilots for their jobs and how long to train rail drivers for ours!
Don't show this post to your FO. He may apply for a transfer on the way home!
