Could the problem be that airlines treat their IT staff like trash? I get why people like Google. They get treated well and have good benefits. I don't see an airline treating much of their workforce as good as Google treats theirs.

You probably refer to low cost airlines. Things are much different in normal airlines I think.

I've been working w/ one of the top airline companies in the Middle East for the past year. One of these that are "luxury". I've been on-site in their HQ for 6 months and worked with their IT department.

The environment was exactly as the stereotype above. There was not even free coffee for the employees.

A great many "normal" airlines are slowly going broke, or trapped in an endless merger cycle. Not much joy there I think.

Do you have any real world data regarding working conditions in "normal" airlines?

Why would you think that?
