So why the snide comment about o/n allowances?
Its the good ol attitude of trying to drag everyone else down. I don't have it so why should they. This is the real face of o'learyism and capitalism. Only a few are allowed do well, everyone else must race to the bottom. Its actually akin to communism in that respect.
Regrettably there are also plenty of pilots who would rather drag down their better-off colleagues that actually fight to improve their own conditions. Too scared to take on their own bullying management, it's easier to have a pop at someone else.
Little men (and women) and far too many of them.
