Broken Wings, Yes £60,000 is a reasonable salary but if you were a captain 20 - 30 years ago in todays terms you would be earning closer to £85,000 - £90,000!!!!
If you follow this trend to its logical conclusion, in 20 - 30 years time you will be earning more like £25,000 - £30,000 as an entry level captain. Does this still seem as good to you? I wonder what bus and train drivers will be earning at this point.
