What kind of job/Airline is paying 11000GBP a month?

I'm an FO with a Charter Airline and in an 8 month summer contract I grossed £38k in that time. I am more than happy with that.

I worked in many different industries including Military, Public Sector and Private sector in a varying number of professional roles, not all flying related, overall I think we are well paid for what we do. I keep justifying it as we get paid for when things go wrong. When things do go wrong, I know I, as a passenger would want the people who were attracting the best salaries and therefore hopefully be at the top of the game looking after the emergency up the front.

There is an old saying, "you pay peanuts, you get monkeys".
