Ms Turret, you and i both know the "disgruntled whiners" on prune are merely the tip of the iceberg.
I can assure you, You Gimboid, that the prevalent attitude amongst the vast majority of the permanent lads is major disgruntlement and anger. Ms Turret is trivialising the issues as coffee and water; it goes of course way beyond this to such somewhat more important issues such as the viability of long term lucrative employment, commensurate with the professionalism required, without the constant worry of kickings in the teeth and other shaftings. As a contractor, this appears not to worry Ms turret, however as a potential permanent pilot, it should worry you a lot. Your comments are quite accurate in all respects about BALPA/REPA. Ryanair pilots are not joining for fun.
