I wonder why you want £30,000
Fighter-pilots start on less after 4 years training...if they are the minority that make the grade
Commercial pilots start on less after either training in the forces, or training in civilian life (like you) at great expense to themselves(though you do not pay anything I think)
Some of you do "extra" work like run taxi companies from the station - is this why your union doesn`t want you to have to do short-notice overtime in the modernization?
Last week in New York (You are familiar, because that is your reason to demand so much??-?) the subway-drivers threatened to go on strike, it being Christmas an all - and the state out-lawed it! Good for the citizen eh?
Is it true that there is a by-law that was over-looked from over a century ago in this country, that prevents industrial action if it affects public interest? And the Govt has just found it.
Stop taking the p###s and let our over-stretched, as-or-more-professional-than-you forces people do their jobs, without having to cover for your "taxi-managers"
