Why get into "what is an FA worth"? It is irrelevent at this point. They are worth whatever they can get, whatever the market will bear. If you are jealous of them, get over it. Or get out your CV. Damn right they make good money. So what's the problem? My brother is a tradesman, and I'll guarantee he makes more than any pilot in oz. Is that fair? If he stuffs up, he gets a call-back and loses some money in lost productivity. He certainly doesn't kill 400 poeple. Is that fair? Who cares. More power to him. It's what he gets. Just look in the newspaper if you want to see examples of seemingly disparit remuneration. Is a currency trader worth 10 times the pay of a nurse? Maybe, if you take into consideration ALL aspects, such as job satisfaction.
The issue is the jobs going overseas. Some people here really need to get out more, and see what sort of money you can pay people 'overseas'.
Argus made a very sensible post. And someone else mentioned 'morality', a word seemingly out of fashion. Certainly in corporate circles.
