Topslide this pikey has also gone on to employ a great many crews! Do you think we would have had the boom recently if it wasn't for the likes of RYR and ezy?
Its simple really he;s offering a product the passenger wants. If people didn't like RYR they wouldn't travel on them. Unfortunately cost is the primary factor for most people and they don't give to shakes as to what the pay and conditions are up the front end! Most of the regular punters think we are overpaid bus drivers at the best of times!
You're kidding yourself if you think MOL is the only reason for the downfall of this profession. The powers that be have been chipping away at it for years and years, we now have accountants and bankers running the show (sound familiar?). How come your not on you high horse about openskies undermining current BA pilots or Aer Lingus opening a UK base on worse terms than the guys in Ireland? Or the latest moves at Ezy to introduce summer only commands or employ through CTC? But hey MOL has been the only one to stuff up this industry?
PS how is this relevant to the topic? Surely this should go in some other more appropriate forum?
