Its not just the airline industry - its everywhere.. well almost.
I'm only a PAX, and as such I see it as "you all work for me". My choice is fly cheapo bak of the bus 'cattle class' or pay for what you get, want, need - whatever.
At roughly 700h a year in a flying bus, I probably do as much as you guys, plus I get to do a day job as well....
And yet I want safety, service, punctuality, and all the good stuff - indeed I expect it, so I also have to be prepared to pay for it. Right.
I am, but I am not prepared to pay for some fat cat licking the cream at the top and s****ing the staff.
No Airline executive should get more salary that the chief pilot on the line. If that were law - a lot of things would change.
What p*ss*s me off is the inefficiency that has been worked into the industry. Safety and checks and balances - are essential. But there is more than 1 way to skin a cat.
I'm not a communist or a socialist, I believe in
fair trade and a healthy dose of capitalism, but in the airline industry some of this global reality has gone -
just too far.
How can I support YOU best - by not flying on the airlines where the bosses are raking in 10 fold what a pilot earns and more - perhaps we PAX have to help you bankrupt the system - so that a new order can emerge.
YOU TELL ME - that way at least we will not be shaft**g you.
The only logical solution I can see is to avoid the main airlines and support only those set up by 'ex-pilots & idealists' such as Freddy Laker and Moritz Sutter - ups sorry they are both out of the running ... so what now guys..................
