I reckon a good 9.5. I’m approaching the end of a 2 year airline pilot training programme with virtually zero job prospects and a wallet lighter of 75k. To stay current on type is probably a minimum of £10k/year from now on.
I do have a physics degree from Leeds but it’s a bit useless since any job over minimum wage will require a level of commitment I can’t give, since it’s patently obvious that I’ll piss off once a job in an airline becomes available.
