It’s always easy to sacrifice something that you are not, or never will be, a part of...
Fast forward 15+ years, when the A350 is the legacy airframe and you’ll probably be arguing with the junior pilots (who are now in primary school by the way) about why it’s not a good idea to pay for your own training or some such nonsense and they’ll all be calling you old and out of touch, and how the “A350 and legacy T&Cs are on the way out.”
...and my transformation into Grandpa Simpson is complete!
Having said that, I agree that we need to separate the deal and the emotion surrounding it. I personally hate the way it’s been conducted, NS is a company shill who can drink alone for the rest of his life as far as I’m concerned BUT I have zero doubt that the company will set up an external agency REGARDLESS of the cost to get it’s way. Sometimes a strategic withdrawal is better than dying on the hill.
