The fact is,the airline industry has evolved alot over the past 20 years.Pay and conditions have deteriorated in all airlines,not just Ryanair,so don't fool yourself.A BA Capt was earning more and working much less yesteryear with an amazing pension.Today it is different.That is not to say we shouldn't fight for our conditions or be happy with deteriorating pay.In Ryanair,the pay may not be keeping up with inflation,but today an experienced Ryan Capt at my base earns in excess of £6000 net per month,and works between 12 an 14 days.This may change,but for the time being,I am satisfied.Take the money,do something with it to secure your future.There are no jobs for life,get used to it.
