Unfortunately, 54, your posting is a load of tosh.
" it shows that you cost 50% more than others with the same job ". No it doesnt. BA pilots do not do the same job as most other UK pilots. How much do Monarchs bases in SIN, SYD, JFK etc etc cost? How many overseas engineering units do Virgin keep?How many long haul routes do BMI have to maintain? Yes we all fly a/c, but that is not the only cost that BA put on the flight crew figures believe me.
"goes a long way to explaining why your company is struggling more than others" conveniently ignoring the fact that BA have fewer pilots per hull than every other european large airline, work more hours than most and have salaries that start at £18000 (before tax).
Even if you assume that the bottom 1000 pilots earn £40 000 a year (ha!) that means that on your figures the top 2500 earn £90 000. Nurse, help me!!
Im not against debate, but lets debate on level fields eh?
