TC the TOUR OPERATOR has come to within an inch of being ruined, TC the AIRLINE has not contributed to this state of affairs. Having been leaned and with a substantial increase in the on-board sales figures TC THE AIRLINE made a substantial profit 2 years ago and a modest loss last year. We have been repeatedly told by our management that our seat mile costs are competitive, which turns to the opposite message when the Mr Hyde head is talking, so who to believe on that issue?
TC pilots are NOT overpaid, they are PROPERLY paid. You can probably make more money in Ryanair if you are on the right contract. Yes an airline can make a few more bob by raping the wannabees, but thats going to stop eventually as the European market matures.
Feel free to allow the future prospects for pilots to degenerate if you will, but don't blame the pilots for the failings of management.
