I think it very sad for them that their two children both upped and left.
But that’s what socialism brings - shared misery.
Once my parents are gone, I doubt I’ll visit the UK much, if ever.
I hardly recognize the place anymore.
The way I see it is.
Ryanair is Allegiant.
EasyJet is Spirit.
Jet2 is Frontier.
British Airways is currently Jet Blue but without the customer service.
Norwegian likes to think they are Southwest, but they aren’t even close.
Only the US wages are twice as much, for two thirds the work.
But the way I think things are heading is.
British Airways short haul will be Vueling.
British Airways long haul will be Norwegian.
I wouldn’t trade places with anybody on the planet, for that of a US legacy / major / cargo carrier.
I agree when you say you barely recognize the UK, in my case Spain. Instead of growing as a society and improving work conditions, we're going backwards.
Hey Allegiant got a new contract and pay is quite high haha. And Frontier, they better do it fast.
Anyways, I get your point, I do. I appreciate your point of view.
