Letsflyaway is right, the press couldn't give a damn nor could the public.
Only ones who care a jot are the mass of unemployed pilots who object on moral grounds. As there are no morals anymore, its just a case of how deep are your pockets ?
Why would an airline object to a workforce paying to come to work ? No other company in any other industry would object to being treated like a charity.
It really is a sad joke now, none of my friends can believe me when they hear of pilots paying to go to work.
So very sad
