Pilots would seem to have it good.
Worcester, those starting salaries are for experienced new hire pilot from other airlines. Entry level cadet pilots start on about £25k. Most pilots also
have degrees, so actually have debt of about £160k. It is probably the most expensive and least rewarding career to enter these days,
initially at least.
