Yes its on youtube somewhere. I think the context of the programme was more to do with how automation was increasing in flight and they were suggesting that pilots should perhaps be paid less in lieu. They covered the 747-400 which was due to enter service then and it obviously had no flight engineer. There was a mouthy aussie ATCO towards the end saying pilots were overpaid bla bla.

Interesting though on the automation front, we still need two pilots now just as much as then IMHO. Even watched an interview between Michael O'Leary and his share holders recently, of all the people who you think would want to do away with pilots, he said that he couldn't see it happening in his lifetime

If BA salaries are still worth what they were then, fair play to the BA guys. Although from what I hear all the time now, you obviously have to work/slave a lot harder for your money either way.
