Its all very frustrating - constant inaccuracies bounded around.
Most of the viewers do not know the slightest thing about aviation.Unfortunately in Ireland MOL is lauded as a saviour and held in high esteem amongst the public because he slags off our incompetent politicians constantly. His ryanair propaganda photo shoots are 'gas' and a 'great laugh'. People honestly believe every word he says.Thats why he gets away with being such a fool.By in large only people with aviation knowledge know he is a liar and bull****ter.
Now ill get constant questions from people regarding my amazing roster and lack of work each week. Ill be labeled a dosser on an 'easy number' getting 'amazing' pay ( but sadly 30% behind competitors. The net money is very weak after accountants,bank transfer fees and all the things that should be provided like STBY pay,holiday pay,sick pay,medicals,uniform,LOL,hotel and accommodation at the sim twice a year,even the 2 sims are at least 3500 euro a year taken from your pay,significant petrol costs when you are rostered on a ground transport day in order to position to a base or sim centre and unpaid SEP days,winter ops days,changes to procedures days etc etc etc !)
The amount of times people say (seriously without a hint of irony or joking) :
'So when are the toilets being removed?'
'When can I stand for a fiver?'
'When are you becoming the pilot?' (people presume co pilots are not pilots ,do nothing at all of value and they are similar to cabin crew,who can easily assist the pilot instead because O'leary says so)
Its all getting very tiresome,embarrassing and expensive ( the longer you stay under the Brookfield spell the worse your career becomes versus similar colleagues building seniority elsewhere in proper jobs). Cant wait to leave.
