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.
I recall various posts at the time but what was the specific reason for standing them down at the time? Was it a huge downturn in training requirements or the first stage in bringing in a new deal with pay per session as practised elsewhere? if the latter what is the deal now? Honest questions.
