True, the figures are from 3 or 4 years ago, which I did point out.
You are probably right when you say that BA pilots work much harder now than they used to, and that 600 old timers on massive salaries have since gone. Just like you, everyone in my company works more/harder/longer than they did 4 years ago. Fortunately we haven't had to carry a legacy of old timers on large salaries at the expense of new (but experienced) recruits. Everyone gets a fair wage, and the diferentials are easily justifiable.
