Incredible! Have heard of some rejected and some accepted in this crazy scheme!

Does anybody have a suggestion as to how we can stop this?

By "this", of course, I mean:

- The slow decline of a noble, fantastic profession.

(Would Doctors stand for this?)

- The fact that each (shorthaul) flight originating in the UK has a tax burden exceeding the pilot renumeration by 100s of percent.

- easyJet, one of the most profitable UK airlines, wishes to make profit from the essential training of its new employees - paid by the trainees!

Surely, we could capitalise on the RyanAir publicity?

If not now, then when?

I suppose we could always remove all the experienced pilots from aviation to make things easier for the businesses.... An occasional crash is possibly cheaper than decent pilots?

Sad to see, but perhaps unsurprising. And I am no anti-capitalist.

Perhaps it's about unity and publicity?

Safe flying and all suggestions welcome!
