Smith, if you genuinely feel that way, then donate your "excess" pay to some of the poorer members of society or perhaps the cabin crew, but stop whining about it on here. You clearly have an agenda and a wish to sell out your colleagues. Evidently I hit the nail on the head with my suspicion about you being a cadet with rich parents, or, you'd be needing that salary to repay training debts and a mortgage. Maybe you should consider that most of us have not had the good fortune, so to speak, of being born rich. As for your rapid promotion, perhaps it was your swooning ass kissing and will to work for less rather than your desire to limit your knowledge to the minimum that got you ahead. Regardless, I'd never want to fly with someone of your judgement or personality.
