<br /><br /><br />This is an interesting argument. Who would carry the burden of a training ban? Who would carry the burden of a wider industrial campaign in contract compliance? A recruitment ban?<br /><br />Everyone will lose out somewhere. If this is the path KA pilots are headed ( a wider CC campaign ) as predicted by retired managers last year, it pays to be brutally frank who the losers are going to be. And that means being honest about what's been going on now. An example being G day working and excessive OT payments- which I believe are one primer for the vulnerability of our leave scheme. Clerks have a list of pilots hunting work on their G days , brimming with the most expensive ones ( have a think about the costs a pilot with additions on their base wage ), who they call every day to cover the program. RPA scheme ? Some of these guys are even working on their leave so it's money and more money they want and not lifestyle or even fatigue protection! It's been a pot of gold and contract compliance would strip a percentage of the membership of a lot of money. More so than the DPA can achieve and good luck with the moral argument- I wouldn't want to get between these guys and a pot of gold and all I can hope for is their kids end up on COS 18.
