I would be loathe to eat a fast food hamburger offered for 1 Euro
Wrong comparison there! A one penny flight is available today with Ryanair. It's common knowledge that the FR fleet is the newest in the industy, and for all FR's faults, I've never seen any suggestion that their maintainance/operation procedures isn't up to scratch. This thread is about flight crew incomes, and that dosn't seem to relate to the airline being either legacy or lo-co.
