People (i wonŽt even say Cpt with that lack of leadership) like you are the reason why our jobs are declining. Thinking that it is normal to pay for a TR is just stupid and the reason why our all T&C are falling down. Well maybe you think it is also normal to pay for you uniform, SIM, check and water on board.
You are more a soldier of the current market situation.
Return of Investment?
You just flew 5 years? One day you will have this FO on your right hand seat with a great financial burdens. And then the others to follow. In the meantime OŽLeary will continue to shaft you from behind, and as you said, it is only business: DonŽt expect your current conditions not to be changed, the "90ies" generations at least have been were working much longer in the proper airlines and stayed there much longer as you will be in your future. You just have a very poor long term thinking.
The root cause are selfish und self centered people like you. And the wrong people which are attracted in that postion, who would before never been able to enter this profession. Working in a bank would suit you more.
And the poor guy, having 30k more depth has to fly with you one day.
He will never see aviation at it was used to be. With great people to fly with, with the job at the hand and striving for excellence. That is sad. I hope for him with the little luck that one day he can move forward to a much better company than Ryanair and will never end up like you.
