What a great thread.
It's amazing to see how SSTR pilots always try to justify their pay to fly decision.
Anyone who fly's for Ryanair should have their medical revoked because they clearly need psychological treatment; completely out of their mind paying 30k + to fly for an airline that treats pilots as subordinates.
Correct me if I'm wrong but work is something an employee gets paid for, not the other way around! Have any of yee SSTR's ever asked yourselves what the passengers in the back of the plane would really think of yee if it was announced to them that the pilots flying the aircraft each paid 30k for the seat on the aircraft and also paid for their pilots uniform. They would laugh their asses off at yeer pure stupidity!
The truth is, that the only certainty that exists for Ryanair pilots is that when retirement comes around they will be easy to identify. Long retired but still hanging around in their pilot uniforms the ass of it thread bare from wear! Contrast this with MOL and his management team living it up on their vast wealth and fat pensions all at the expense of their paying staff.
