I would say another article about how "useless" and "lazy" pilots are, and what a coincidence at the same time that talks are being held about new european time regulations.
A magazine in Italy (L'Espresso) last week issued a defamatory article stating that pilots are a privileged bunch that spends more time on the ground doing nothing than airborne (doing nothing as well of course)
Obviously the comparison was with a ground employee but the hours per day flown were made on 365 days, speaking only of "flight hours" and forgetting about "duty hours" and ground duty time such as courses or sim.
