pilots arguing
Captain Jumbo
Evening,
About the arguing and so on between pilots, do not worry it is exactly the same in Air France (We have 5 different pilot's unions!!!). Being new on this forum, it actually strikes me how similar the issues are.
About the particular point of direct entry though, from what you said, we (AF pilots) seem more "protected" as no one can jump the queue ( all secured by the unions)! Having said that it might simply be because it makes a hell of a difference as we are paid on a weight-speed basis ( means that the faster and the heavier the plane is the more you are paid).No need to say that people love the 747-400 and are lookig forward to the A380!
