Ocampo,
I see your point indeed and I agree 100% and I think us pilots should get paid good money. But this is management we are talking about here!!
I was told that someone at Easyjet suggested that pilots should get pay matching there work..I.e you sit there and do nothing you get paid hardly anything.
In my honest opinion they way it is going, pilots are only there for when the sh*t hits the fan not to fly the plane and thats what they get paid for.
It still amazes me that in the past 100 years we went from discovering powered flight to planes that fly themselfs with 840 pax on board. In another 100 years may be everyone will be flying something what happens then? taxi drivers charging 100 pound a journey! Or may be pilots will control the aircraft from the ground via satellite a bit like the 'predator'.
