Those line trainers have been treated with contempt. Stood down, not paid, but kept their trainers rating. Then, after the threat of DPA action, are called back to do the company’s dirty work. And boy did they jump to mothers call?
Is this not demeaning to the training pilots who have let themselves be treated like this? To then undermine their unions efforts by jumping through the company’s hoop when asked, is simply crass.
The analogy: like poodles being lead by their owners , through the cesspool. Then expected to sit up and beg at the end. Please have some respect for your colleagues and say no thanks, I’ll train in the future, but not now.
