I'll get back to you in more depth later. Meanwhile, think about this:
Course to obtain the skills to operate an aircraft. Any UK approved flying training organisation. Cost to student about £60,000.
Runs, on average, full-time for a year.
Student funds this himself either through pre-existing family wealth or from monies earned (after tax) in employment.
Even type training on a modern heavy jet does not equal this kind of personal outlay for a budding pilot.
Tell us, then, how many of your IT employees expend this kind of sum before being able to sit down at one of your computers as a basic employee?
Further, how many of your employees could find themselves unable to continue in their employment (and thereby reap the reward from their outlay) on the basis of reassessment and evaluation of performance, and full medical check, on a six-monthly basis ongoing for their entire working lives?
There is, in my mind, no comparison to be made. What do you think?
