I was merely trying to point out lots of other people have responsible jobs and comparing like with like is seldom realistic or enhances your argument.....as you seem to have discovered from my thread.
Hang on a minute - you seem to be contradicting yourself a little here. A minute ago you yourself were comparing us to those other professions and implying we shouldnt ask for more money because they are not (in your opinion) paid a lot either. But now you say comparing like with like is not realistic??
We have to look at our own industrial sector and try and intelligently improve our situation
Well isnt that Tarik 123's point?? Not wishing to sound rude or pompous, but im confused as to your point?
I also have another major complaint about your post:
...and get to sleep with CC
Ive been flying for an airline for almost a year now and i havent slept with a single cc! This is yet another example of how my T's and C's are being continually eroded. What are BALPA doing about this??

(No comments about poor social skills or body odour problems please - i can assure you im clean and fairly likeable!)
