Definitely, and not only that. A new hire who eventually becomes a captain will be on forced part time in winter on a variable roster further reducing his or her salary. Summers of course full time with no more than two days off in a row.

Whilst the LHR captain enjoys their full time 5/4 roster year round.

Obviously this may be a moot point as everybodys job is at risk during the crisis.

Im really sick and tired of the narrative that management is trying to push ”blah blah maintain competetiveness”.

It is about fragmenting the pilot group into as many little pieces as possible much like Ryanair did once upon a time.

All of SAS mainline went on strike for a week in 2019 and still 25% of flights operated normally. Why do you think that is?
