Well Dartagan you should care, As you may get your foot in the door but you have a lifetime left in the career to reap what has been sow or is been sow.The simple reason you wont have to pay out for even a type rating with lingus is due in course to the union, the reason the pension is so good is due the union...........I could go on but you obviously know better. Its not a kinda ban neither.ITS a BAN period.
Go for the job, defy the ban and get your name blacklisted all over Europe, Do you think working pilots really give a sh1t who's defys the ban only that their not in their airline cos they aint welcome......
Grow up and change your tune or your gonna find it a lonely industry.
