Some of you need to get a grip. I just read this and it’s relevant to Australia base as well. Just because we have an association in Oz with some teeth inside the FWA umbrella to make and enforce our contract doesn’t make us the bad guy.........
Back in 2003 and 2009, the pilots answered the Company's request for assistance. Since then, how exactly has the Company rewarded your loyalty? Zero or below inflation pay rises, negligible profit share, base closures, loss of W patterns, replacement of agreements with policy, no flexible working, and still no viable seniority-based way of changing fleet. Globally, housing has been replaced with HKPA, medical benefits reduced together with aggressive sickness management, the Company reaping their benefits of the JCR agreement before prevaricating on the pilot equivalents, all under the overarching attack on contracts with the introduction of COS18. In return, you have duvets and Illy coffee.
