Earlier quoted context omitted.
Who says train drivers are overpaid? Their median salary is £59,000 and considering their responsibilities that seems fine to me Anyone who complains train drivers are overpaid is always free to retrain as one
That is comparable to the lower range of aircraft pilots salaries, which require far more skill and training and far greater responsibility: https://www.prospects.ac.uk/job-profiles/airline-pilot it is higher than train drivers are paid in other European countries: https://www.dw.com/en/german-train-drivers-earn-less-than-yo... It is far more than than a nurse earns. > Anyone who complains train drivers are overpaid…
It sounds to me that the issue isn't that train drivers are being compensated too much, but rather that nurses and pilots (among many others) are not being compensated enough.
They should take a page out of the playbook that the train drivers have been using.
