Not to mention the AFAP endorsement of it why, they wanted WB guys back ………
So here we had an opportunity to gain some pay back, VA really needs to operate this Japan sectors.
Do I need to say more.
And to his credit, even our No one pilot DG , said don’t put your hand up for it AND any call outs.
All this does is undermine the Pilot group. 10 hrs this weekend is not the answer.

Not one Captain or FO thinks differently re the offer. It’s a disgrace, it’s an insult, it’s professionally unacceptable, uncompetitive and more over bad business.
Not one of around 25 Pilots I spoke over 5 days would vote it up. They all say it’s absolutely unacceptable and tell me they have no confidence in our delegates or the two unions.
i want a EA that looks after Pilots , individuals and families. An EA that is fair , good for employees and the company.
And that is how it is .
The few here who have a go at me are TOTALLY in the minority re this, and are in some other universe.
Again I say , you are some union delegates as I know.
We are going to end up with a ‘ CRAP ‘ EA , once again. Take it or leave it ,it’s our last offer , Pathetic.
Christ , pilots do their job very very well that can not be said for many areas of the company mostly at head office who live in dream land.
Five days of crap? 5 days is a opt in... So you have an opted in ? You are supporting the cause by doing the 5 day trip...
