I agree and lets face it most 'proper airlines' are long gone....
I worked for one but then it went bust.....but then I only did 250 - 300 hrs a year got pro rata what I get paid today and that was 20 years a go and on a turboprop. Probably why it went bust ultimately and 9/11 of course.
The aviation world has gone backwards thats a fact.
Now I work for Ryanair.....
