The job will always be low paid if there is low demand for LAME's as in the current climate. As Blacksheep and Spannersatcx will attest there are plenty to fill all voids in the business. JMC are well equipped due to their realistic salaries offered, BA are up to strength, VS are OK, so the only places short of people are the likes of Britannia, Monarch and FLS and who wants to work there, even for £50K. As previously mentioned there is plenty of cheap labour around who will accept a couple of pounds less so that will always fill the gap.
