“Ex., BA senior Captain pay in 1990 was 120k, in today’s money that’s 268k. They may be able to make 150k today!”
Well, I retired over three years ago as a 22-year LH Captain, (so not the most senior pay-point), and my BASIC salary was 180,000 GBP, so you need to check your figures. Not that I really care.
There’s more to life than money, though I’d be the first to admit it’s important.
