Non pilots, please stop trying to tell us that "it's the market", and "go and get another job". Unfortunately, the aviation industry works on seniority and incremental pay scales. After a few years in one company, moving to another means a significant pay drop, unlike most people, who leave for a payrise!
Sure eventually the market works it out, but by that time we're in another boom, or maybe another bust, or just to throw a spanner in the works, Bin Liner comes along. Just t'ain't the same as leaving your city desk on Friday for a new one up the road on Monday!
