The best way out of this is to forget what you were used to and look at ways of supporting as many pilots staying in jobs as possible. For a while that will mean lower Ts&Cs (a lot lower). But pilots accepting lower in order to keep as many other pilots in work as possible has to be the real aim of any fellow pilot. Stick together to save jobs. Ts&Cs can come later.
Sorry but I disagree. I personally will not be agreeing to any concessionary contract. Historically concessionary contracts have just continued the race to the bottom. If they are going to be making redundancies, no paycut will prevent that from happening in my opinion.
