Yeah - come on fence-sitters! Instead of saying "I'll join Balpa if they get us a good deal" just join up now for three months and help us GET a good deal!!!
I do agree on one principle with Scottie and Tabasco Kid on staff travel - I don't think staff travel should be a part of the pay neg's anyway. It was promised to all of us throughout the entire company when we joined - it is not just a pilot issue. But if I was a cynical person I'd say EZY were deliberately disrupting staff travel in order to provide a contentious red herring to split the workforce - as they did with crew food last year.
At the very least it is one clear example of how little the company is remotely interested in us, and the end result of this attitude is the bullsh!t we have to endure every 17th of the month when we see what horrors we've been dished on our next months roster.
LET'S KEEP THE SOLIDARITY GUYS - THE #1 ISSUE HAS TO BE LIFESTYLE, THAT MEANS ROSTERING!!
