Couldn't agree with BUGS/BEARINGS/BOXES more regarding people joining the industry for the money. Ironically these same people are the first to consider easy (for example) as a stepping stone and run off to a legacy carrier at the first chance. Only to be based at one of two awful London airports and paying twice as much in living costs/rent/mortgage. Despite being motivated by cash, their math seems to fall down when BA start recruiting.
But I digress...
