Any person who feels that a First Officer or a Captain should be on less than £100K basic is in my opinion the problem. The amount of constant professional development and standards that need to be developed or maintained are the highest in any industry. The responsibility of hundreds of lives whilst flying a machine at speeds beyond human capability requires nothing less than talent and skill. I used to love the aviation profession, unfortunately I now feel it’s been taken over by social media children. Take a look at the net worth of aviation leaders including Michael O’Leary and you will appreciate where the lack of salaries are ending up. As long as there is one prostitute in aviation willing to invest £50-100K and then to be paid peanuts, we will all be treated with the utmost disgust. It’s now up to the Instagram children how they wish to be treated for the next 30 years.
