Do fuel providers charge a LCC less for Jet A because the company's a LCC?
Does your CAA allow less regulation because the company's a LCC?
Why do pilots think they should give the company a discount?
And you can buy a plane ticket today to cross the Atlantic for the same price as it was 40 years ago!
So it's the pilots who have allowed the companies to impose these low wages on them. Take or leave it. The pilots didn't want or dare to fight for their T&C's.
And how come pilots at US legacies and LCC's enjoy much better salaries?
