Of course you're not going to jump in as Captain of a 757 but salarywise you'll be far better off than on the North Sea.
We have a problem with pilot retention, so while people are leaving the North Sea in droves, it makes sense to pay them as much as the IT sector in order to keep them.
As for mansion in rural Aberdeenshire..........maybe next year when I'm paid a decent salary!
