Angry jet2 wage levels

I have to strongly disagree with the comment regarding the national wage average . So what if pilots earn more than the national average .
Its like any commercial venture , if you invest large ammounts of money , you expect a return . My training cost me £110,000 , i did not invest this money to earn the national average . Commercial flying is not a vocation , it is a profession . If some people wish to have a communist mentality , then ask your local GP or accountant to accept the national average wage .
The T&C's at Jet2 at the moment are below par . OK , we dont work 900hrs a year , but we are not given that opportunity .
Things must improve , otherwise do we go back to "WILL WORK FOR FOOD".
