You don't recognize harm to you when it stares you in the face.

If you'd spent some time at previous and current threads about the likes of Ryanair and Norwegian you'll see "we" (i.e. many european pilots) recognised and have been very concerned about the impact of the LoCos for years.
You would rather save a euro on a cheap ticket on a marginal airline than protect the established carriers that train and maintain by the rules.
What's with the "You"? Not me or many of our colleagues, I'd rather walk than use the likes of FR. However the european travelling public are now hooked on cheap tickets and don't give a stuff about established carriers - why should they? As for a political solution - well our lot follow the votes and the money and know it would now be electoral suicide to interfere in the european air travel market...(no I don't like it).
