Crying and table thumping is standard cx pilot behaviour. Being mature enough to have a well defined objective and strategy to get there is not.
Get together and decide what it is the pilot body wants.
Present it to management.
If the company is belligerent then decide upon an organized and published industrial campaign until a suitable compromise can be met.
Alternatively, continue crying.
Okay, and you think management will listen? The pilot body makes noise, yet management is deaf!
You want to float the idea of industrial action? GH’s statement to the board when there were rumours swirling about it was: “It does not bother us, we have the law on our side.” They would rather sack pilots and get a company to fly their routes than give in to pilot body demands.
The best we can do is to show them the package is not acceptable and walk. The problem with that is, the survey from what I heard focuses too much on the metrics the company selects and nothing on anything that is of great concern.
