I was quite surprised last week when on BBC's The One Show, some journalist I've never seen before said this was basically a dispute between pilots and the airline.
That seemed to me to go well beyond over-simplification. Add it to O'Leary's comments about 18 hours not bring hard work and so on, and there seem to be efforts by some to shape opinions of the proportion of the population that tend to be mainly anti-union etc
On the other hand, all of the show's preceding short video clips of cancelled passengers complaining showed them all criticising only the company.
