Col Blimp. Let me be the first to shoot you. If you're an outsider looking in, you shouldn't draw judgement on how or why we earn more than an oxbridge 1st sitting in an office in london for 24hrs a day.
It's called risk factor vs responsiblity. If your friend pushes the wrong button on his pc, he can can press delete and re type his work. If we make a mistake in a howling crosswind on a snow covered runway then hundreds of people could end up six foot under.
In return for the £100k salary, these people are expected to work 12hr days in a ruthless environment
.... We do this every day with the responsibilty of peoples lives in our hands you plonker.
If you dont understand the basics then dont post that sort of rubbish.. 'my mate's a really clever merchant banker on 50k, you guys earn more' blah blah blah...
Besides I'm off topic now.. rant over
