Cost attributable to Flt OPS is 4% of total airline cost, 9% in BA 11% in AA.
The Captain who left his 777 in the mud in CDG yesterday earns in excess of $350,000pa and has a pension fund of over $3m if he's done his 30 years.
If the airline meltsdown and fails it will not be due to paying the staff excessive salaries.
