whatever the initial thread is about,I am must be hallucinating that I read from people(pilots or otherwise) that actually feel sorry for the poor,poor oil companies.
I tell you what Rotorknight and Pullharder, spend a few years whith your salary being determined by a bunch of hysterical 25 year old city traders, varying between 35,000 and 150,000 pa, and let's see where you come out. Will you have lived on 35,000 and have a fat savings account, or will you have lived on 150,000 and have a huge debt?
And then the equal time: at the moment you have a lot of pilots hovering around 750 hours/year; how on Earth are they going to be more "productive" with 18 more days on?
Well, maybe there will be fewer hours to share between pilots......
