I am in shock because of an article in channel 1 describing Low Cost Flights (LCF) as dangerous.
First they described the growth of the LCF telling that few months ago in one day there were more LCF flights in the skies of Europe than regular flights.
Then they described how LCF companies are killing regular companies like Monarch, Air Berlin and Al Italia.
Next step was explaining the obvious, if you pay cheap you must understand that there are no free gifts...
The last and the frightening was telling about the pilots. In the regular companies, pilot must have 1,500 hours at least to get the job. In LCF, there are pilots with 300 hours of experience only(!!!) and pilots that are paying to the LCF companies in order to fly jets there. Many of the pilots are not employees of the LCF companies, they are self employees who are working by invoices!!!
Have you heard these things?
