I’m sure there’s plenty of other ideas.
No intersection departures,
Full Rev THR on landing,
No Single Engine Taxi,
Only report Mandatory Reportable Items (regulator hates that one).
You will never win the support of the travelling public, NEVER. Since we were labelled Glrofied Bus Drivers back in the 80’s, that is all the public think and will think.
Work to rule, cancelling flights will only drive your pay checks onto another airline. You need to look at it from a Business perspective (the airline does), how much is a Day Off worth to the company?
“ I will work my day off sure. I want double day off payment, overtime flying rate and the day off added to my annual Leave for this year. If not, find someone else to operate.”
Why shoot ourselves in the first foot? The purpose is to get our worth remunerated by the company, remunerate us. There will be a break even point where the company says it is not financially viable, that should be the target.
When will unions evolve and stop playing the Companies game?
