First thing the airlines did when COVID struck was to take advantage and sack all their staff. Nobody wants their cut price poorly paid jobs.

If you read the general consensus it's only the likes of that twat O'Leary saying it.Who'd have thunk it innit

Not sure what that has to do with the airlines making their staff redundant due to covid. Can't cope, but still making extra holidays available.And the twats that run hotels, restaurants, grow crops (and are now having to reduce what they grow because it is stuck in their fields) and so on....
It's ok though, because we are no longer controlled by unelected bureaucrats such as the European Court of Human Rights... oopps...
The biggest airline at my local airport Wizz Air held a recruitment day recently. My son's girlfriend was interested in looking at a cabin crew position until she read the requirements. If anyone had the qualifications they were looking for then they certainly wouldn't be interested in a £21k a year job.
They've now cut most of the flights at the airport due to a staff shortage.
My missus works for an airline, the pay is crap but the perks of travel can be good if you want the lifestyle. The likes of British Airways you’ll find sometimes a much older crew on board, some of those can be on big money I’m told (£50k+), probably final salary pensions, loads of holidays plus cheap travel. There’s a generation who have done extremely well financially who are just about to retire.
Everything has become so economised as I call it, we all want to travel to Prague with change from £350 so I guess we as consumers have driven this low-cost-low-as-possible-overhead business model.
By the majority of those that could be bothered getting of their backsides to vote.The day the U.K was sold (not by the majority) to the elite and 40 years of E.U membership
It's impossible to quantify the impact on our standard of living accurately due to covid and Russia muddying the waters.I’d love to know if any Vital Brexiteers have changed their mind, I’m more fascinated by how people are finding it and the impact it’s is having on our standard of living and growth potential, than I am angry or disappointed at people these days.
Even that c###bag Lord Frost who negotiated the bloody deal seems to indirectly admit every time he talks it’s a shambles.

And then there was all the votes that didn't get back regarding postal votes, from those abroad
Also and I am not condoning it of those i know who didn't vote (Believe me they have been blasted by me over it) Alot didn't bother cos they didn't think it was important
But again it's done, it'd just be nice if the Gov actually tried to make it work instead of using it as another distraction for Boris.

The worst thing for me whichever way you voted is the lack of any strategy. We have absolutely no clue what we’re doing on the world stage, we’re about to fall out with the biggest trading bloc on our own doorstep which is geographically our biggest partner, and all we’ve done so far is roll over trade deals from our time in the EU which actually end up being worse for us in the small print with islands in the pacific for egotistical purposes.
It’s a shambles, Lord Frost and Bozo should be shot. The whole cabinet has slept walked into a situation they have no strategy.
I’ve always said, I could’ve voted for Brexit if I thought there was a solid strategy and gain at the end of it. Luckily from the small amounts of reading I did, it was always selling the public down the Swanee and unfortunately asking 30+ million to actually research something very important before they go and stick a pencil on a piece of paper was too much to ask.
Agree Dan, the outcome so far is not as I would have wanted.There’s also the COVID impact which much more of a disruptor in my opinion.
I agree it’s obviously impossible to quantify exactly the impact and the world has thrown up once-every-hundred-year-events in the space of a few years, but I don’t believe it is impossible to gauge the trend of the impact of Brexit. Taking the performance of similar sized, western economies such as Germany and France as a sample comparing the U.K., does show some stark differences. The government modelling always predicted this would happen pre-Brexit so I don’t see it as a shock, we voted overall to shoot oursleves in the foot, and the data is showing it.
It’s pretty basic economics when you look at it, and even the likes of Ress-Mogg are now contradicting themselves publicly saying things alongs the lines of “trade barriers increase costs”. Add to that the smaller workforce (mainly covid but also Brexit as I know people who have left the U.K.), output and productivity was always going to be smaller. On the flip side, industries with mass workers of the same skill set can strike more effectively post Brexit and increase wages so that is a benefit to workers.
