This has come up elsewhere and the trouble is the "average" figure used by the media is often the arithmetic "mean" (e.g. in Cabin Crews case the total CC salaries divided by total CC numbers) which can be skewed upwards by a few very high earners. More meaningful would be the "mode" figure - the most common salary.
