True, that would make most guys feel depressed, I was reading in the paper that O'Leary was having a rant about how he wants to make standing places in the planes by removing last ten rows, so the ticked for those seats would only be like a few quid, "seat belts wont safe you in a crash" was his argument...
But the main thing that caught my eye was him saying "Its just a bloody bus with wings", I think that explains his views on pilots and that they are at best just 'bloody' bus drivers
Wait, by that logic it must mean the space shuttle is just a bloody van/lorry with a rocket on it then????
Whats interesting is I wonder what 'bus' company gave them a profit of £477 mil in the last 6 month?! (Im sure their pilots saw A LOT of that)
That attitude of bus drivers really sucks, its unreal for our wages to be matching theirs (im sorry if it sounds big headed or rich) but its not a job for anybody, its limited, we are the privileged few to know the pleasure of flying, its a dream job for many, it takes so much commitment, work, money...To be poor/broke with mass dept and working for peanuts at the end isnt a dream! it isnt a life...
