jettlager,

The article said that amount was the average for cabin crew, not too sure if they were including pilots. As the article was based around the salary increase that cabin crew are after I'd assume it refers to cabin crew only.

If you want to compare dollars versus responsibility I'd have to say the cabin crew win hands down. A pilot will have put a lot more time and money into their career than the average FA and have worked for many years to get to the front left seat of a 747. Don't get me wrong, cabin crew are a vital part of the operation but you don't get to be a 747 Captain by doing an in house training course for a couple of months!

Cheers,

Hollywood
