Did the pilots in the 50s lug their own bag of clothes & shaving gear, on those flights with half a dozen stops to Australia? I always imagined this was simply taken care of by the airline, hotel to hotel, even if the pilot looked after his own professional gear. So I don't think their cash wages relative to porters are all that relevant. But would be interesting to know when this switched over.
