So, the whole world revolves around Sterling and the Empire still exists? Have aircraft prices, fuel prices (hint, hint - the stuff that comes from Saudi), leases, etc, etc, switched overnight from USD to Sterling?
The Riyal (that's the Saudi currency, by the way) is pegged to the depreciating USD, as are other currencies in the Gulf including the Dirham (that's the currency in the UAE - y'know, where Dubai and Abu Dhabi are - near Basra). So at least the Saudis aren't coining it with the exchange difference, unlike others nearby (take a bow, India - sorry the Raj if that makes you more comfortable) who think it's hilarious as their expat pilot costs are going down with the appreciating Rupee.
Why don't you take your salary in Sterling, multiply it by the current crappy Dollar rate, and contact airlines in the likes of Japan, Korea, Vietnam, China, India, South America, the Gulf, etc, etc insisting that they should pay you at least 20% more than that as you'd have to live away from home, and can you have first class tickets for you and your family for leave periods also, please? Oh, and Christmas off. I bet the offers come rolling in.
