As far as my spies know, no, no-one has gone. But that does not mean they wont in the fullness of time. An A320 capt in India can double his J* salary. But one would have to live in Mumbai, Bangalore or Dehli. Its all about lifestyle and what you want out of it.

I could have become an Civil Engineer, Draftsman, Surveyer or a Farmer or any type of tradesperson.

Now who would be a farmer? They really HAVE got something to whinge about. The others on my list all do reasonable well and can go overseas if they want to earn better wages. I know of a young man who speciallises in Stone Walls who quadrupled his salary by going to England.

I know people in all the above trades/professions but none of the bitch and whinge like pilots do. Even the farmers!
