And so a pie fight ensues.
I have to be honest, while it does appear that perhaps in a viable climate there might be perhaps be an argument for some form of unionisation in fr, is it really worth it?
Would the benefits really out way the suffering along the way?
I mean this in the nicest way, but all you old boys out there who still hold onto the romance that is aviation - wake up times have changed. When you have an FNG who is prepared to fork out 40k for a job and then earn SFA, what chance do we have.
Face it 'bare faced terry', you need the fr pilots more than they need you. The low cost army is the future, while B***** All is dead in the water.
I mean this be a constructive post and not a rant at other peoples expense.
Times have changed and so has the industry. The dignity and respect is not what those pilgrims of fallen companies might once have strived for. May I suggest that in the present economic climate, a job fulfils the dignity prerequisite and the respect is being able to put food on your families table!
Now is not the time to fight for terms and conditions, now is the time to pull together and thus safe guard our jobs.
The boss's at fr do what they do, and they do it well. The fact is that we forced them into the UK base freeze, and thus we are costing the company money.
So Balpa, go away, become an attractive proposition, and if you still exist in a few years, come back at a more appropriate time!
