Everytime I read threads like this, I thank my lucky stars that I decided to get out of the cockpit and into the head office.
As a 33 year old idiot, somehow, I now earn more, for less work, than a RYR skipper. Alright I don't get to see the sun rise at FL410 anymore, but then again, I don't need to watch the sun rise at all either as I'm fast asleep in bed.
The more I read here about RYR, the more I think that RYR managament are a smart bunch of so and so's and that pilots really are a lot thicker than they think they are.
If I go back to pilot mode, U737, I promise you that you are part of the problem, not part of the solution. If you cannot see why that might be, then do a bit more thinking, or try and live life without having Daddy pay for a type rating for you. (I've had the 'rents guarantee a mortgage for me, so I do know how easy it is compared to someone who has to make a scary decision about taking out a loan without any sort of safety net.)
You might get a different perspective on life.
Is there actually an "exodus" at RYR? Or is it just like it normally is when threads like this roll around on a monthly basis? Basically, just a figment of some over-active imaginations?
As someone who now works outside the cockpit, can I ask for everyone to carry on this sort of thing.
It does make life an awful lot easier for management types who get a lovely big bonus when they manage to cut a few quid from the salary budget. I want to buy a Porsche and so if everyone carries on like this, I should be able to sort that out in the next few months simply by shafting a few pilots who seem to not give a stuff.
Thanks in advance.
