BBT dont judge everyone by your own standards. You make it seem like there is some naivety on my part in accepting the terms and conditions of my position with FR.
Well
Vector Thing I have read that comment and I have read some of the other things you have said here and I think you have made my point very well, all on your own. You are certainly an innocent abroad in respect of some matters (in my eyes, of course).
You say you sense an "Ivory Tower". That is
your interpretation. But perhaps your interpretation is just a misreading of what is being said to you. You prize certain attributes in spades, even perhaps too excess for the career you have chosen.
When you find yourself in an airline that thoroughly abuses you the question will, eventually, come down to whether or not you will see a solution in standing shoulder to shoulder with your colleagues to improve your situation, or in ploughing your own furrow. Your decision. I will leave it at that.

The authentic voice of Ryanair is to be found in the post above by the Ryanair apologist
Inveritas who puts a mild exterior on the "realities" of those who find the promises made at interview, etc. are broken when it suits Ryanair. He says, fair enough, "this is not a branch of Thomas Cook". But this is hardly what is at issue, which is that there are few Ryanair pilots with any period of service who do not feel that a Ryanair promise - even in writing - is worse than useless.

I have read the link provided in the second line of the post by

In my opinion this is a stellar post and should be read by all aspiring pilots and those already employed in this increasingly unpleasant working environment. It is a concise explanation of the issues and greatly to be welcomed for that very fact.
