Mach E Avelli- you are right about it being all down hill from here. Pilots need to shift their mindset from being the salaried professional to being skilled workers who negotiate a good wage and fair promotion through collective bargaining. In the same way that train drivers do, they are actually able to negotiate very reasonable conditions. We are to, we have a strong hand to negotiate with.

Companies like ryr do need to be boycotted by experienced Pilots who have options elsewhere. They have failed to comply with simple European wide laws such as paying taxes, or allowing employees a trade union or even an employment contract. The British government has started to close the loopholes specifically exploited by this cowboy operation.
