I guess you’re feeling safe from the CRS pool then!

Think of it this way; those pilots who will end up in the CRS on 30% or 60% of basic, (which is probably more like 20% or 50% of their normal pay), are actually contractually due 100%. The only reason there is no work for them to do is because BA is not making an additional 300 pilots redundant. Contractually, the vast majority of the people taking the big pay cut within the CRS are way too senior to actually be at risk of redundancy. So think of your pay cut, (and the even bigger sacrifice made by the poor buggers in the CRS), as being part of the collective response to keep 300 of our most junior colleagues employed. It is a real shame we could not all be employed on part time contracts to share the financial pain and the work more evenly, but apparently they wouldn’t go for that idea.

Do you honestly think the people in the CRS want to have no work? As for barring them from doing another job so they can somehow pay their mortgages! Are guy for real? You would prefer they lose their houses would you? I wonder if it was possible to volunteer to be in this wonderful CRS you seem so envious of, whether you would actually put yourself forward for it?
