SR71. Not derisory, just true.
I see what you did there.
that's just ****. Doctors have good T&C's because there is a shortage. there are no out of work doctors, more posts that can't be filled due to no staff.
Supply & Demand huh? P2F/SSTR?
Only serves to demonstrate my point. There is an excess of selfish pilots in the world when compared to selfless Doctors. After all, who wants to study for 7+ years (more like all your life) when you can command the "same" salary in 1.5? From whence does that rhetoric arise?
I'm sure there are all kinds of reason why the professional pay of Doctors and Pilots has diverged over the years.
Pilots exist along an employment continuum. Senior pilots were behind much of the UK SSTR/P2F malaise.
The UK prohibition against Secondary action seems convenient to some posters here. But you can guarantee, if you're content to sit back and watch from the sidelines, things will only get worse. I can't quite conceive of how that might make things better, can you?
PS:
I only went to University for 7 years.
