There are loads of highly experienced, good pilots (Expats) working in the Middle East for an equivalent salary of about 60-70K GBP. And thats the Captains.
Can anyone explain why then someone doing the same job is entitled to earn 150K +. I understand that there are quite a few senior Nigels on that kind of money. Why?. Retire them and use the money to help keep the company afloat, maybe even train lots more young pilots to get the supply and demand equation back in the employers favour.
