I dont think jiffajaffa can be to blame for that attitude. Unfortunatley all the people criticising him are pilots who entered the industry years ago, long before the days of having to pay for typeratings and even your own line training. BLAME the SYSTEM or even the AIRLINES and recruiters for this situation with new wannabes.

Most wannabes have to get into ~£100K of debt to get a job nowadays. And for most people finishing with their fATPLS cant even get any jobs now, so quite rightly he/she feels happy JUST TO HAVE A JOB!

So to all those fat cat pilots having a dig at jiffajaffa, its partly your fault we are in this mess by allowing T&Cs to be slowly degraded, not doing your bit with the unions and the cost of airline pilot training to be as high as it is.

It Pi$$es me off seeing some airline leaders who had their pilot training all paid for free and job handed on a plate, sitting back now and watching all the wannabes getting in massive debt for jobs which dont exist.... rant over.
