You go ahead, shout me down (no sarcasm intended). This is a discussion forum and everyone is welcomed to their own opinion. I welcome you comments.
I admit that I am young and undoubtedly once in a job will see that the pay should be better for what a pilot does, but at present I believe that if an airline wants to pay £60,000 of its money to train me then I should give them loyalty and not be overly expectant on what they will give me once on line, I fully expect to be taken advantage of since they paid for the training. Most jobs are tough when you first start out.
I just think that at the moment, until the industry picks up, people should sit tight, be thankful they still have a job, and give the airlines a chance to recover before placing demands. Even for a uni graduate, a starting salary of £25,000ish rising to £32,000ish after five years and then upwards to about £60,000ish is an excellent pay structure.
