It's amazing how quickly the wheel turns isn't it?
Only a few weeks ago the deal was AEU taking work from other Pilots in AL Mainline in an attempted Union Bust.
Now, it's Midland Pilots standing up for their rights and flying their own rightful work.
Bravo!! I applaud them.
If you work on the margins for an AEU (ACMI) type operator and offer your services to all and sundry, this is always going to happen.
Rainboe (with his fat pension - already discussed) and that nice Heavy Metal type chappie will of course stand down to protect their colleagues. So, the number should be a maximum of 12............
What sticks in my throat is that AEU guys didn't bat an eyelid when the Union Bust was being introduced.... in fact, there was a distinct I'm alright Jack attitude. But now, less than a month on, we're meant to be gnashing our teeth in angst at Midland Pilots taking back what is their legally recognised flying.
Pot. Kettle.
