Salaries?
Working as a ramp agent at a large FBO chain. Getting paid equivalent to 280GBP/month doing after hours work and weekend shifts. How's that for shooting the hostage in the foot. And all that for a few aviation contacts.....
Is it really worth it?

Citation 560 Line Training Captain. Net is just over £4000/month. 6 on 3 off. No pension, Loss of Licence, or any other perks!!! About 500 hours a year.
Easy life, one or two sector days, rarely get close to 55 in 7, and huge variety in flying.
If there is ANY romance left in commercial aviation, Corporate aviation is where it's at!!
Happy as can be!!!

We drive slightly more complex machines than buses, this you will learn if you do the flying thing..... Me thinks we don't get paid enough!

So I guess we F/Os should get some extra pay for flying with the management Guys. Those who just fly around 5 to 7 days/month coming near FRA/LHR on a CAT3 Firday morning with less than 15min extra, because fuel is so expensive and we have to save money.
Diversions are so much cheaper!!!

Wow CAT 1 .. you sound like a hero... I think you should get paid a lot more
======================================================
Well thank you Chai Ja, Hero, I like the sound of that, but we all know heros do the impossible for free, were as we get paid vast amounts.
From your stupid comments past and present I presume you don't actually fly for a living! Good luck in getting your first job though....
think you'll need it
