Plenty made redundant in the last 2 years are making a lot more money now which no doubt filters back.
Agree. If you take the emotion out of blindly hating management, this is correct. Many of these people have generic transferrable skills (eg "Change Management", "Wellbeing Advisor" "Transformational Lead") and no often no real passion for aviation. I'm sure many were happy to take a lower salary packet in exchange for that higher onload category. Not so helpful in the current times..
