The profession has been a disgrace for many years so what’s new? Belittling newcomers won’t solve anything. You don’t care about them, they don’t care about you and Ryanair certainly don’t but that’s the LOCO mentality.

Perhaps you should spend your time volunteering at BALPA or ECA and try to get some positive work done to stop these airlines exploiting people. Euro Loco pilot pay is almost on par with US regionals now but at least they have the opportunity to move up and eventually make it to the Majors where Senior Captains can make north of $500k with overtime, even the average FO makes more than a Euro LOCO Captain. What’s the difference between the US and EU? UNIONS!

With all the experienced pilots that have lost their jobs in the Middle East and Asia on the market it’s going to be a bumpy road ahead in EASA land unless something changes.
