Sirwa69

I dont work for BA but from what I hear 150k is a long way off. The top 2 or 3% of the list who choose to go al out for money at the expense of a life may get to 150k.

The average mid list Capt makes less than 100k and less than that if they what a home
life. Thats to live in a high cost part of a high cost country and after 15 years in the
company. Yes its a good wage but not in my opinion unreasonable for a professional
person with a responsible job in a large company. Most of there neighbours will be on
a similar package in their non air transport job.

Why do you think pilots should get less than the going rate for a responsible
professional job in the UK???

Over to you sirwa69 for your reasons why UK based pilots should take a pay cut
