No disrespect, but I'm sure tube drivers go through some pretty hefty training and it's a stressful job, they have the safety of hundreds of pasengers in their hands after all, I personally would be disappointed if I discovered they got paid less than, say, an airline pilot, which is similar in terms of responsibility.....although if anything the tube drivers serve community, the public, industry and commerce more, so maybe their value is greater.[/quote]
I don't mind what they get paid, i think they are taking the piss asking for a payrise and no redundancies when everyone else is getting fucked over.
And as stressfull as flying an airplane? Are you having a laugh, the tube is on rails, it goes forwards and backwards and that is about it. It is that relaxed i have heard of tube drivers getting sacked for watching portable DVDs in their cabs. Flying a place vs driving a tube? Hmm the only shitter is iff somo bigger idiot throws himself in front of you.
