Incredible. History yes, not the future, it’s gone. For those that pertaining to fly aircraft with a compass, stopwatch & perhaps 4 Proteus engines they have retired long ago. 40 years ago was 1980, hardly the swashbuckling pioneers venturing out in their De-Havilland Rapide’s for a world tour.....get a grip. To honestly think your remuneration should be based on that work is a pitiful argument. Your pay is for last months work, period. Those getting it should be grateful given the plight of many.
Regarding PP34 & PP24 & any other departments that have evolved into ringfencing T’s & C’s for some, change is inevitable. When is no doubt conjuncture & guesswork. The future day will eventually arrive that allows PP34 the casting majority, when this day does arrive PP24 will be history. Looking at current events we now know there doesn’t even have to be a vote, the company can just impose the change. Covid may just yet facilitate this outcome, the result would be a large group of pilots all on the same terms and conditions. What is wrong with one team with the same skill set treated with equality? We may even have harmony and true “esprit de corps”............
