Errrr.....The main point of my post was that the tube driver believed he had 'the same skills' as an airline pilot.
The fact that they are very well paid was an aside.
If anyone on this forum believes that driving a tube train is as skilled as flying a modern jet airliner in all weathers, in crowded air space with lots of other big, fast chunks of metal flying around feel free to contradict me ( Bob Crowe accepted).
