Whilst I may enjoy my job the respect generated by my employer has long since evaporated along with my good will.
Aviation as with any other business operates on supply & demand. Whilst there remain people willing to 'prostitute' themselves the situation will only get worse. It's long overdue that a consensus is agreed between the pilot community on pay & conditions. Below this line none of us will go!
For many years BALPA have sought & gained recognition within various airlines, but for what purpose? What efforts have been made to level the playing field? Perhaps if the Association recognized the displeasure of the flying community & began to negotiate collectively on pay & conditions, there might at least be a light at the end of the tunnel. Who know's membership might even increase!
It's time to stand together & stop bickering amongst ourselves.
