A Ryanair first officer flying a highly complex airplane in all sorts of weather conditions earns between £55k and £78k per year. A Tube driver earns £72k per year sitting on his arse for 35 hours per week pushing a couple of buttons to start/stop the train and open/close the doors. In addition, they get 43 days’ holiday per year, which is 15 more than the statutory minimum. Also, they get gold-plated pensions which pay more than the average annual salary.
They are not striking for higher pay only. These grifters also want 75% off leisure mainline rail travel throughout the country and to really take the biscuit 2-for-1 tickets to Legoland and other theme parks.
As usual, the socialist Mayor of London, Unhappy Richard (Sad Dick, geddit?) Khan has said nothing about the strikes. The Tube drivers and the Mayor should be tied to the Tube tracks and if they aren’t electrified should be forced to run each other over when they return to work.
