Perhaps I should have said Tube driver, as much as Bob Crow is an objectionable character, you don't see Tube Drivers paying for their training and their pay is very good as well.
Starting pay for London tube captain £40k. With 6 weeks off and 35hrs /week = £24.84/hr. RYR Captain €130 - €4.5 (training) = €125.5 = £103.95/hr. To be fair it should be mentioned that the hourly Brookfield rate is for block hrs. so you don't get paid for pre/post flight or turnaround times or (most important) standbys and the tube driver gets paid a regular salary even if he's off sick or on holiday (I think)
