Yup, you said it Barit1, roll on the Aeroflot crews on contract to every legacy carrier. They live in a "dorm" near their airport of base and "earn" $600 a month nett nett nett, the rest paid in credits at the company store for beans and toast. Meanwhile, legacy, management cream-off million buck packages for their 'creativity'. As Mr James, the legacy "company doctor" of DanAir fame said, the only way to go in this industry is down, lower wages, lower costs, lowest provider wins. Its all a matter of time before the Soviet model triumphs.
What a crock. Read the Ryanair threads to see where you are headed as a passenger. Good luck.
