Leo, you clearly don't have a wife and family to worry about.
Apparently you are happy to have the terms and conditions which are DICTATED by your employer (I guess they "interpret" what the free market rate actually is by looking at tea leaves or whatever).
Just as a matter of interest: would you be good enough to just clarify your approach to salary determination (this is a genuine question): don't you care? or do you think that what Ryanair decides is automatically O.K.? or are you on a "special deal" which protects you from what your colleagues have to endure? (While I have noted that you never deal with realities or inconvenient questions, I am trying here...).
Your positions seem so remote from the experience of the people you ostensibly fly with that I cannot quite see how you reconcile all of this in your model of the world. Come, educate and delight us ... how do you reconcile all of this?
