NSF,
OK I am sorry-I have read my posts and they were of a nature that did not promote an informed debate.
I have wasted some time searching your/mine and our history-and I can see why you might not answer my questions without being defensive. I am sorry again.
However your posts disturb me. You do have a very good style and write from what looks like an informed position-and you have won some supporters. But I can not see what is so "informative" about your posts-most of the facts you quote are form easy briefings, what may happen or the last thing to be talked about at a BALPA meeting. The "balanced" element I don't see. You avoid a lot of direct questions or manage them into your style. Most of the information you post is out in the public domain already-and some of your past posts are venomous to say the least-so a little less of the devout morel high ground.
My beef is this. Someone in easyJet is using pprune to work out if Ryan is for them. Your posts don't help or contribute to any informed debate-they can't because you don't know. The few opinions you have sort about Ryanair, and based your educated conclusion on, so confident that you post it as fact on pprune are very unbalanced. Because I can find as many easy pilots to dispute your "facts". So lets drop that now.
No airline will ever change T&Cs to make you feel better about working for them-The bottom line will always dictate-If the arrival of a new CEO improves T&Cs it is coincidental-the change had to happen because that is what the market dictated-any victories you score with BALPA, or whoever, are incremental in nature.
So I hope that we can debate. I will ask you some questions about easyJet that perhaps you could answer.

Now before my past history gets me shot down. This is a conciliatory post-which does pain me, but is a genuine effort to help a pilot make the correct decision.
