Maxy101, I couldn't agree more mate, but unfortunately look around and see the constant degradation of T's & C's.
The helicopter world is even worse with newbie pilots cavassing operators to work for free for experience!!!!!
I hope, along with all professional pilots, that this is not the top of some slippery slope. However there is a pool of less experienced pilots out there who are working for smaller outfits on far worse pay and T's & C's who would jump across at the drop of a hat and the management know that. O'Leary has proven that crews don't need to be happy when they are correctly bullied and threatened.
