Sorry but....I had to say something!
I really don't see the use of all this fuss about salaries. It is quite normal that people aim for more and more in order to improve the safety and quality of their own life. Maybe taking a look to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, things will seem bit more logic for people as this " little bug of easyJet threads" the so called Clara ( Clearly Look for Adding Rubbish Argumentations).
And if the need of providing your family with a safe , beautiful life is not for you Clara then you may stay to the Psychological level of Maslow's hierarchyand that's breathing, food, water, sex, sleep, homeostasis and excretion.
