Why does any mention of airline pilot remuneration bring all the non-involved idiots like Guvnor and LPJ out of the woodwork feeling they have to make an input into something that is not of any concern to them. I remind all- this is a Professional Pilots Network for PROFESSIONAL PILOTS.....Gerrit. Other opinions may be relevant, but if it becomes an area for non aviation persons to attack professional pilots, then their input is not welcome and professional pilots will increasingly retreat to their private areas!
