Arkroyal,
I would be one of the first to support you against any sort of erosion of compensation for the very responsible job you carry out.
But again, like many others you miss the point. It's misleading advertising thats is creating these unrealistic expections.
I'm happy to pay a reasonable and realistic fare for any journey that I take. I value the occasional bargain as much as anyone. However I'm not so stupid as to realise that if we want a service, we need to pay a realistic fare to sustain that service.
FlyBe should never have announced a £9.95 starting fare that they were not going to (could not) sustain. Such advertising benefits no-one at all. I cannot fathom what the hell the marketing people at Flybe thought they were at. The only result has been to canibalise their own revenues ???
BTW As for pressure on employees. I could respectfully point out that there aren't many professions not subject to the same pressures. Except perhaps for lawyers
