About 6 months ago I started a post called "so where do we go from here?" - or something amongst those lines. The idea behind it being that lots of in Ops (in all it shapes and forms) are actually very skilled in what we do (apart from the long hours and responsability that comes with it all) but in the grander scheme of things we are actually very under paid.
Unless you local Ops Manager decides to start pushing up the daisies then it becomes really difficult to really start earning some serious bucks.
My personal opinion is that this is not fair - and most posts back up my opinion.
I have now decided to leave the Ops room (although still very much in aviation) to at least give myself a chance to have a run at the salary ladder.
hey ho hum!
