I was watching an old programme from circa 1992, I was still in my nappies when it was produced so I can only report what I seen! It followed a BA 747-200 crew. The Captain was interviewed saying he was at the peak of his career stating his salary, including flight and duty pay, was £81,000.
So, I logged on to the BoE website for kicks and ran it through the inflation calculator. Bit of a crude exercise I'll concede, however.....
Assuming BA have increased their pay in line with inflation since then, a Captain today at the peak of his BA career should be earning circa £166,000?
Remember, this was 1992 'the good old days'. The same Captain also complained about his Ts&Cs, said people in other professions were much better paid.
Although, the narator said that crews were always booked into a 4/5 star hotel down route and the Captain was always put up in a suite.....
