Guvnor you don't need a JAA rating to work for Southwest.
Oh I see...we're supposed to be discussing
Ryanair! Fine, then stick to the subject and leave Southwest out of it...nice try at muddying the water anyhow.
Westman referred to a frozen ATPL'er? So what! Ryanair has never had a two tier payscale before. You were either a Captain or an F/O, and you got paid as such. Now we're seeing new rates being invented for 'less experienced pilots'.
My view is you can either do the job or you can't. If you can't then you aren't fit to sit in the seat. If you are, then you deserve to be paid the same rate as the next guy...especially if there
is only one rate (i.e. no length of service scales).
MOLs arrogance in unilaterally cutting the landing fees by 50% is disgraceful. What a chancer! If you parked your car downtown and then told the booth operator you're only giving him 50% of the charge when leaving...do you think you'd get very far?
I hope they get some a/c seized and impounded.
As to the 'Bunny stuff'...ever seen Conair?
