Why do you get so upset if you say its not true??
I guess everyone has a professional pride, especially in this industry, and nobody likes their professionalism being questioned. The article asserts that pilots are overpaid and lazy. I am not sure how upset people here are, there are comments, some good ones, and some downright funny ones besides, but upset? Nah, we are used to ill researched drivel, but it still makes an eyebrow or two raise now and again when a new article appears.
Rather than make sweeping statements about working conditions, why not just ask professional pilots? At least that chap from the BBC came on here and did that when he was researching fatigue. Frankly, looking at the article, and the style in which it is written, I am not sure the writer would have had an open mind anyway - a bit like you eh Flexy?
