I am none of the aforementioned professions any longer, and certainly have never been HR. My profile gives you enough information. Needless to say, my background provides no motivation for my views - these are the views of myself thinking through my training as an economist, accountant and business professional on what is best for the labour force based upon some experiences of mine both in the industry and beyond: and though now on light aircraft, through that training as well. These are not an attack on the system, but food for thought...consider them as such and no more.
Clarence - I was focussing more on the impact of being locked into one company - regarding your point, it would seem that if you compare Ryanair/easyJet to BA/Virgin/bmi, then the financial packages are reasonably comparable across the board, not hugely different.
