I recall reading in Norman Tebbit's autobiography that he went in the early 1970s from a £5000 pa BOAC SFO to a £3000 pa MP overnight. Since an MP's salary today is about £60k, that should make an SFO's £100k and a Captain's in the £150-200k bracket. And a gold-plated final salary pension scheme. What happened? Don't answer that, we know. Accountants with MBAs.
