Yeah, it is an "ok" salary, but that is all. But for an experienced Airline Captain, your comment is ####### ridiculous. People like you make me shake my head in shame and see why the industry is, and has been well and truly F######! No pension and no permanent Job and you still think this salary is ok?!
Er hang on a second, please point out to me where I've said that £5k is just fine for an experienced airline captain?! Or anything other than what £5k take home might get you. I'm not in the industry. I was trying to make the point that citing the LGW base as a negative because you're based in one of the most expensive cities in the world is not true. Yes housing is more expensive in the SE but as I said you'd have to be mad to base yourself in central London for a LGW job. That was all. A little balance.
