Yes, pilots are whingers...and backstabbers, and social climbers, and ambitious b'stards who climb over each others dead bodies to get to the top of the mucky pile.
Well welcome to the real world - it is exactly the same in every other walk of life. Bad management is enedemic throughout UK industry - I seem to remember a survey by the FT last year that put UK management competancy in about 30th place for industrialised nations.

the annual bonus which for one computer nerd round the corner was £100k last year. That makes me the pauper of the neighbourhood.
What have you done this year to deserve a bonus of £100K? - this computer guy may have invented the wheel! - and as for being a pauper, you are only a pauper if you compare yourself to professions paying more. Are you a pauper compared to Teachers, Doctors, Social Workers etc.?

The original Idea of this thread was about fatigue - this has very serious concerns on flight safety and to try to hijack the thread into a winge about T&C's is wrong. The sort of rota at Easy which gives a 7 on 2 off is something that the licensing authorities should be looking into very seriously.

As for morale - this is a rock bottom throughout the industry and will only improve when the industry picks up - which it will eventually.
