First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
So instead of plotting each other’s demise. How about you stick together. It’s absolutely horrendous what has happened to the Tiger pilots. There should be every courtesy extended to them. And you should all be willing to to bring them onboard when this is done
There are many ways to manage this. Shared rosters/lines. Stand down with intent to rehire in the future. Re hire guarantees etc etc.
It’ll be the widebody guys next. A RIN on the 737. It’s not just you either. It’s all of us.
It’s like a bull thundering across a paddock. Right at you. It’ll take balls of steel for CEOs to stare down BIG shareholders and retain staff, when the stock market wants a quick sugar hit and the institutional investors make or lose millions when stocks move a few percentile.
So stand by your mates. Job share, roster on roster off. Welcome the widebody guys back to the fold if you have to. Do what you can. Do it together.
It’s coming for all of us. And I speak with a red tail and a dirty white hat. It’s coming for us too
