To avoid the further threadrift, which I initiated, I will only say this on the topic of torturing bulls. Lo que se llaman en España 'la fiesta nacional' es, en verdad, una vergüenza internacional, los que lo practican, y mas, los que lo miran, son unos sin vergüenzos. No se trata de honor, ni de arte, pero de cobardez.
As far as IB is concerned, to get back to topic, I have travelled frequently long and short haul on IB and many other carriers. IB falls way below the standard of all other major European carriers, with the possible and dishonourable exception of Alitalia. I neither know nor care what their pilots are paid, it's almost irrelevant to passengers.
P.S. : I will not respond to any further postings attempting to defend the ritualised cruelty to bulls practised in some parts of Spain (not Catalunya since last weekend). We will just have to agree that we disagree, and whilst normally I would like to say that I respect others' opinions, I cannot respect anyone who advocates cruelty to animals. And I am not a fluffy treehugger, far from it.
