Thread is degenerating into a schoolyard slanging-match.
I have no dog in the fight, other than having used RYR for my only trip outwith the UK to date (guess paxing BOAC and BEA in the mid 60's doesn't count
)
The cake is only so big, you all know that the intellect of pax is directly proportional to the "fare" they pay, MOL has harnessed this mindset to RYR's advantage,- flog cheap seats and stitch them up on the extras
The total cost , financially, is still acceptable to very many and makes a foreign bolthole a reality for many...BUT... MOL has to continue selling his "bargain deals" otherwise you all lose your jobs!
Remember Freddy Laker?.....he tried to upset the gravy-train and was scuppered,- MOL is more aware, more aggresive and bigger than Freddy.
Yes, he's a tough sod and chooses to pump his "surplus" profits into Company Growth.- I don't wver see a monopoly position for him, but i do see a real force in commercial aviation.
Airline piloting is no longer an elite, mysterious, closed-shop profession.
Maybe waste your efforts telling all the "wannabe's "that it's a crap, poorly -paid job and you'd love to get out but are totally unsuited to any other commercial role....ETC.ETC. -create a shortage and the T/C will, short-term, improve....but then the fares will appear too dear and bums on seats will reduce, thereby reducing revenue.......... err - aint that what's happening now?
So, As i posted previously, form a consortium, buy shares in RYR and take a real hand in your own future.
Or do too many dreamers want the penny AND the Toffee?
PUT UP OR SHUT UP.
remember, Sewage -workers are well-paid, but there's not a huge queue wanting to shovel !!!! for a living......but there are loads of people wanting to fly tin tubes for ever increasing wedges of cash !
