Yet we infight for the privilege of working harder for less. Each to their own. Sad really.
This is an anonymous forum, no-one posting here has to be what they say they are, a great many are not professional pilots in the sense that a lot of posters are private pilots or not working in the industry at all. Now after saying that, management at large corporations are very adept at using all forms of deceit to sway opinions, including pretending to be pilots on forums like this to create as much opposition to valid ideas that might get up in negotiations. Pilots tend to communicate in small groups and large meetings to discuss things like EBAs face to face is rare so management know the value of throwing rumors and seeds of doubt around, fully aware that pilots will readily pass on gossip without vetting it, and the lies rarely are challenged.
So when you think it's pilots apparently arguing against improvements in T&Cs, have a long think about whether they are actually pilots, and really what angle is the poster coming from.
