MikeH,
I was not directly accusing you of being naive, you are not;
I have worked for MS, Google, Apple, BP, Shell, and I have contracted for several parts of the UK civil service. Levels of job satisfaction are generally lower than in RYR, because although people are treated well in some respects, most of them are doing something fundamentally they do want to. At least most pilots want to fly.
There are shiny (propoganda) headline that tell the world of profit share, free tea/coffee, pinball machines and great pension schemes. These things do not make people happy.
Wally.
