Beachbum- Slightly unfair.
Yes there's a portion of truth. It goes back to the early 00's then our beloved "chief pilot" allowed the zero hour contracts to be introduced. And because Europe was "loaded" they really turned a blind eye to it all, and people were paying very little tax (if even at all in some cases) when working for Brookfield. And this suited most at the time. But since the bust, each country wants their share.
But the best way to control a country is to allow them go bust, bail them out and once you control the debt, you control the country. FR use this very tactic. Get a cadet/captain who has a large level of dept. Put him/her in slightly more debt, and give them a job! Dear cadet/captain you're going to be based in the back arse of nowhere. Enjoy! Dear Ryanair- thank you! Because if I say no I'm out of here and back to the dole office to pay off my €130,000 loan. Ryanair controls the purse strings thus they control you. Unless you leave!
