FANS/Beazlebub
1) You sound like a shareholder!
2) Why wouldn't you describe it as a profession now? Is it for unprofessional people? What is an unprofessional Captain?
3) Are easyJet immune from bankruptcy? Why?
4) What if the majors Aren't hiring at the time of you losing your job? The likelihood is they won't be.
5) Ask those experienced 737 pilots who'd like to join Ryanair, but can't, because theyre not Cadets. The airlines set the criteria and it may not suit you.
6) largely irrelevant. They're not in massive debt.
Loans shouldn't be extended to people without PERMANENT employment, this is an extension of the irrational banking boom of the last decade. The warning signs are there!!!!
Beazlebub, you're right. An airline job is nice. But it didn't used to be do expensive. You sound like a management stooge. Do you really believe what you're saying?
