In this Simon Calder piece for The Independent, he suggests IAG/BA wants to cut some pilot salaries by 70%. Surely this is scaremongering by IAG, so that, when they cut them by say 40%, it won't seem...

There's a touch of self-righteousness to some of the posts on here, including the one above this one.

Would you like to elaborate on how many British or Irish pilots work for KLM?

Cheers!

Thank you for sharing SpaceMonkey, I hope this encourages more people down the Modular route and illustrates how you can save 25k+ over integrated courses.

That money can then be used for the TR.

I've thought about this myself in the past.

As I plan to be a captain within 5 years, that's not a bad salary range, not the best, but good nevertheless.
