What legacy conditions will be left to protect after a No vote when the 747 is gone next year, the 380 won’t be around for much longer and the 330 after that?
If there’s no replacement aircraft then mass demotions and redundancies will occur.
If there are new aircraft coming then those current 747/380 FOs and SOs will be able to get pay rises with promotions that will occur when the new aircraft arrive. The only ones who will be disadvantaged will be 747/380 Captains, but so many are close to retirement. It’ll take a few years for the whole situation to sort itself out, but by that stage a good chunk of current 4 engined Captains will have retired
Is anybody really going to sink the opportunity to fly the Sunrise aircraft which will benefit the vast majority of pilots because of that?
