Ryanair

badboy raggamuffin makes a very important point, as does mumbo jumbo.

The real problem with the Ryanair pilots is that they are affecting the rest of the industry. I won't say they don't care, but perhaps we should say they don't care enough ... to the rest of us.

Pilots getting screwed on money and schedules is never going to affect how passengers thing of Ryanair though. The only leverage anyone will have is when they make a link to these issues and the safety of the airline.

When passengers feel threatened, they'll listen.

But since we obviously have at least one Ryanair pilot here, let me ask ... why don't the other pilots seem to care much about their working conditions ... at least enough to take any action?

You're flying Boeings, so you must have a defined level of experience. Does everyone want to fly from Ireland so badly that they will put up with anything to be based there?
