Hi Rainboe,
I mentioned the Guardian only to make it clear that I am not one of those old-fashioned gits who think that women should not be pilots!
Please do not stereotype me as a "Guardian reader". I do not, for example, subscribe to the Heathrow Camp debate and have read BALPA's report on aviation/climate change thoroughly (how many airline pilots can claim that I wonder...?)
I don't really want to get into a political discussion, but I don't think it is unreasonable to argue that people should at least be paid decent wages (not everyone earns a salary). I am not saying that everyone should earn £100k, but I think it is equally fair to say that certain airlines pay their pilots grossly inflated salaries (one look at the thread on pay on this website will confirm this) for the amount of flying they actually do. Especially when compared with the completely unregulated work that cabin crew do in return for approximately £14 a flight.
