And I’ve not seen too many EBAs for medical doctors, or lawyers, in private practise. Nobody can stop them from ‘striking’ or force them back to ‘work’ if they do.
I have enormous respect for everyone in row 0 and I reckon you’re underpaid for your expertise and the responsibilities you bear but, as a group, holders of commercial pilot licences seem hell bent on remaining labourers competing (and squabbling with each other publicly) in a labour market.
PagingDr is full of rumours, innuendo, and slapping ppl over the head with a big yard stick for med students and drs. Make no mistake, most if not all professions have their own political issues. Medicine is possibly one of the worst.
