Traf,
I understand your frustration. It is shared by many but most I speak to are foolishly waiting for some kind of leadership from the AOA. I am sick and tired of telling them this will never happen but most have no idea about industrial action/strikes/work to contract schemes. Unless the AOA comes up with an App these kids simply don't know what to do or how to do it. Pathetic.
They are not pilots. They are warm bodies that fill a regulatory requirement to sit in a seat for 8 hours at a time. CX Training could save a fortune by letting them do their renewals at home. They just login and sit for 8 hours looking out the window or eating. Simple.
