The deliberately insulting nickname for pilots originating in the Hong Kong Club in the early '90s was to describe us as "millionaire morons".
The main cadre of Senior managers are trawled from Oxford University and not one of them ever stood up for pilots during the ongoing barrage of hate and derision waged by bean counters against us. Not one. They were all made from the same jealous, ignorant mould as Michael O' Leary. Pilots are "Overpaid bus drivers" who complain at doing 18 hours a week all sounds very familiar.
All I would say to the generations of "yes men" who carried out the orders of the High Command is that you've finally done it and reduced our once great Airline flown by exMilitary Fighter pilots to a LCC flown by "children of the Magenta" on subsistence COS.
An absolute travesty for which you should be throughly ashamed!
