How much do helicopter pilots earn?

I wish my sarcasm came through on a forum. I'm not knocking anyone's licence, no matter what level/time etc it's from and certainly don't think it's crap. I just felt that the salary offered for the job we were discussing, is very low all things considered. Unless of course they are looking for a certain candidate.

If they offered £49k i'd apply, cos it wouldn't be a pay cut for me, but i'd rather be unemployed than accept £10k less.
