It's precisely because of the quality of the crew food that the CC has now (2 months ago) got a dedicated rep for it! He is on the case. What more would you like without actually doing anything yourself?
The management have had to agree that they have failed in some key areas of the protocol introduced at the beginning of this year. Discussions are on-going to rectify the failings and make this an improved agreement instead of a protocol.
To that end, disruption payments to the affected bases, will be paid before the end of this year. Never saw that before did you?
You clearly haven't the faintest idea what has been going on over the last few months have you?
The new rostering manager made one comment after being verbally abused in the crewroom. At that time he'd had the job for a couple of weeks! Let's damn him in perpetuity then!
He hasn't been in charge of that dept for one full season yet - what on earth do you want?
How many of the 880+ pilots did not get their exact leave bid? You obviously have the figures.
Leave has nothing at all to do with roster patterns (6/3, 5/3 or whatever). It has everything to do with scheduling, recruitment and retention.
Balpa membership is not falling - it's static. Exactly the same percentage as Feb this year.
Why do you want half the pilots in the company to go out and try and get a deal, with which you are happy, so that you can then decide whether or not you might join the association?
Surely once a good deal is hopefully achieved, there would be less incentive to actually join and help achieve something else.
How do you think a Union Council should act when people like you couldn't be bothered to join and lend any support?
I haven't relayed one piece of Orange Company Doctrine as you put it - just told the facts about most of which you are blissfully unaware.
Still not aware of any CC members that have been promoted recently......are you sure you've got the right company?
