I have seen the contract of one who has been forced onto it.
Forced how? Someone hold a gun to his head and tell him he will be a captain?
You don't want to work for appalling money, you don't go for command. Simple.
If everyone says no, you'll get a proper salary.
And forget the sanctimonious divide and conquer crap, that only works because you allow it. Some of you I have no doubt are well intentioned, but regrettably most Ryanair pilots are responsible for allowing the divide and conquer to happen. The will to stand together is all that's required.
Take responsibility for the mess you're creating, the sooner you learn to do so, the sooner you will stop shafting everyone else.
