I apologise for what I said. I didn't mean to imply that airline pilots are overpaid. In hindsight, this didn't come across in my earlier post.
My point was supposed to imply that junior first officers (or new hires) are actually paid quite a decent salary. What got my goat up was what some posters were seemingly implying, i.e. that their 2 grand a month (after tax) was a pittance.
To a lot of people, 2 grand a month is a hell of a lot.
Okay, I'm backing out of the 'big boys' arena now. I'm on my hands and knees backing out the door!
