Here is an alternate view point for you:
If I worked the hours that you do my total salary would, without question, be less than yours. That is with over 20 years experience and an EASA Engineer's licence.
My alternate response to your alternate perspective
So get in a union and get what you deserve - be proactive,DO something about it. If however you are not prepared to make your working life and conditions better stop gving crew who are prepared to fight in what they believe a hard time
also as per edit above, the issue of such things as weightings have become more apparent when you look at how the cost of living in the south has drastically increased over recent years without our salaries moving in line (yours too).
