You're all mouth and no trousers. If you're so concerned with ME airlines, why don't YOU contact the journalist and give him the juicy details? I'll bet you my 50' Sunseeker and Bentley Mulsanne you don't. You come on these forums like a stuck record with your constant whinging and moaning about ME carriers and how badly you and every other employer is treated. Yet, you're still here. Why?
Whilst there are undoubtedly issues here, I can guarantee you that there are far bigger fish to fry around the World, some of which are indeed unionised and based in Europe!
Maybe you should focus your frustrations close to home.
