The company easily changed things by including Go pilots who had nothing to do with the negotiations which went on for the best part of a year.Most of the members were captains as we all new full well that FOs would be blocked from command by that vicious management.The deal was a pay rise and working rights for over 60 pilots (do other airlines pay over 60 pilots full salary even though they cannot do the full job?) and nothing else.
With the fastest delivery of airplanes in European history do you really think things will get better?One thing is for sure ..it cant get any worse.
The selfish bit is the chairman is over 60 and walked around various crew rooms with the then chief pilot (62) actually selling the deal to people whilst explaining that new Captains would get 90% pay for six months and also go to any base the company wanted.BRILLIANT!!!!!!
