Still waiting for you to answer the questions posed to you Camel..
In the meantime, love you wheeling out the tired 'precedent' argument.
You don't get to pick and choose which precedents suit you. One one hand you want us to believe that slipping beyond 3% would instantly make all other EBAs indefensible against the same demands. On the other you wish to declare that the precedent being set by our peers in competitor and group airlines are irrelevant, and we should all be happy with being the considerably lowest paid pilots in the category, whilst doing the most work and holding the most responsibility. All while you lot pay yourselves industry leading bonuses of course.
Not to mention of course that you lot certainly DO use the precedent set by your management peers at other companies to improve your salaries, again picking and choosing the precedents that suit you. Nor are you lot bound by this imaginary non existent 3% wage policy. But as usual with QF management, rules for thee not for me.
Regardless, all of this is moot. I've watched the same rhetoric from the same style of brain dead airline management the world over, and in the last few years I've seen it fail one after the other.. O'Leary came on just as strong, with all the same bluster and in the end, ate every word of it. BA the same. Treat a pilot group poorly enough, for long enough, it'll cost you.
Your comments are based on a false premise that I am a management troll. Remove that premise and a lot of of the above is just emotional rambling and finger pointing. It is pointless continuing continuing to play the person and not the ball.
Removing all the rambling stuff, you have covered the arguments of each side. Both sides think their argument is the defining one. You cant just ignore the arguments of the other side. You need to understand it and work out if and how you can overcome it.
After considering the situation of the other side, are you asking for something that cannot be given?
Its hard to remove the emotion when its your livelihood thats involved.
