Sassy, just to be arrogant, for me the values I mentioned would only be three to six months wages.
Laakdown, I wouldn't necessarily say it is a great career, it is just better than 90% of the jobs that exist out there. What many pilots don't realise is that this isn't the only industry where terms and conditions have erroded, or more to the truth maybe it is the fact terms and conditions just use to be rediculously good and now normalisation is setting in. Anyway even if you end up only earning 2/3 of the salary of a current 320 or 737 Captain in ten years time, you are still going to be earning more than the average UK salary.
