Correct me if I'm wrong but I think there's a line beyond which the job is not so attractive anymore.

My question is : what amount of shit do we have to take to make the balance sheet for this job become negative ? Below what sort of T&Cs are we supposed to prefer other types of jobs ? What is the line below which we have NOTHING TO LOSE ?

I don't work at Ryanair anymore. I've had enough of insults, whatever their form. I now fly for a legacy company. And I am actually starting to wonder whether this job will be mine for ever. I have another 20-25 years to go and considering the pace at which our conditions are plunging, why not deviate ?

I mean nearly zero Christmasses, very few weekends, mad body-clock, partial pressure going up and down and up and down. Security checks to make you feel happy early in the morning, being provided with water on board is now nearly a perk, my salary is ok but my class-mate is now making twice as much and gets to spend regular hours with family and friends. We've had a better start with him taking more stress home (and less money) while I was flying nice powerful jets. But in the longer run, his investment has proved a better return with more money and better quality of life and less stress.

You guys have nothing to lose joining BALPA. You're going get much lower if you don't.

Come on, make their day, as they put it so mildly...
