So do I, especially when it is a BRITISH airline and there are so many qualified BRITISH pilots unemployed. Yes we require higher pay because the cost of living in this crap country is so high. I have just seen 'wife swap' in which an unemployed woman with 7 kids takes home £2700 a month after tax and a building contractor is earning 90K a year. Meanwhile people are supposed to accept 18K a year because an Eastern European will do the job for less or because 115 berks (and yes I do mean absolute, catastrophic, thick and very deluded berks) at Oxford have applied for this horrendous scheme. I hope they take their parents down with them - all 115 of them - that ought to sort this
out. The industry is absolutely shafted at the moment, it's an embarrasment.
