Pete O Tube, I hope it didn't sound like a whinge. I merely try to point out that a 12 yr copilot is hardly overpaid in B.A .Especially when you remember the allowances are spent down route, unless you're a Trappist monk.I resent people making these accusations when most outside BA don't realise that 90 per cent of pilots are not on the mythical salaries of the paypoint 20 guys, in fact I flew with a 16yr Jumbo Captain who takes home less than me. That cannot be right. However, I happen to think that he is underpaid, not the other way around.Flight crew in BA are not the problem. If they were, how can the rest of the worlds airlines afford to pay far more than BA but not be in the S@@@ that BA is in?
