JF i apologise if I misinterpreted your post.

In general, I am a capitalist but capitalism can't be left to run riot. The banking crisis was a classic example of profit over ethics. The regulators and the government have a duty to control the excesses of management with regard to the treatment of their staff which I hope will be addressed in this parliament.
Otherwise all we are left with is a dog eat dog existence.

HMRC need to pull their head out of their arse and look at Ryanairs contract employment tax and national insurance minimisation practises as well!

Oh, I exceeded my targets this evening. Just as well I'm off for a few days))

PS with regard to some pilots being ok and others less so with the current FTLs. maybe the difference between Pilot gross and net performance has not been re calculated correctly from the days of long haul being the limiting flight regime. I guess the final arbiter is the smoking hull and grieving relatives. But I hope not as I pax regularly as do my family.
