This is capitalism at work. Company wants to pay as little as possible - hence maximising profit. If somebody takes the bait and is willing to work for 65K then both sides are happy. If there are no takers then the company will have to up its offer - simple really.

It takes collective will to make sure that the employee doesn't get paid less than the perceived rate for the job. This is where a union comes in. BALPA and the collective will of the Aberdeen pilots of CHC gained the large pay rise in about 2005 which both CHC Scotia and Bristow(UK) workforce are still benefiting from - not sure about Bond as they try and keep the union out of the company negotiations
