LimitlessRK, read your first reply to my post now and I also think it's great to be able to discuss these things and get views from both sides of the fence for a change. In the end it's not your fault that the terms and conditions for pilots in Europe are still going down, it's us, the pilots, who are to blame for that.
It will be interesting to see how long this will continue though. Pretty much every airline in Europe is hiring, or is about to hire, and still we're seeing virtually no improvement in T&Cs. Different story in Asia and the US.
