The need to find someone to blame for one's own troubles is very familiar........... It's rather like being married!
Formerly nationalised industries have long since seen a major slimming down on contracts and working practices. The only problem is we still have managers who want to make a name for themselves and want a nice fat bonus for cutting even more. The current Covid crisis is a perfect opportunity and not one to be wasted in their eyes. In big companies like BA the cabin crew, engineers and ground-staff were always happy for the pilots to go first in the annual pay-round talks in the knowledge that they carried a lot of clout and would set the standard for those groups who followed. The rest of the time being at the top of the pile only attracts jealousy from those who are not.
@HZ123.... I wish you well but you will have to sort out your own problems.... and you only have yourself to blame if you fail. Pilots are above you on the manager's hit-list because we are more expensive but, rest assured, we are all on that list. Our industry is going down a vortex on pay & terms at all levels, all we are doing is hanging on the brakes.
