Once again FR management are trying the boundaries of the Pilot Group. A clever try, with a well divided, diverse and not at all united Pilot Body, management see their chance to make a new cost saving. That is how they work, reduce cost at every chance. Fair play to the newly promoted Captains who are handing back their Commands in protest at the pay cuts.
Stand beside those Captains who are about to become FOs again on the 25/4/01. They are sacrificing months of hard work, sweat, checks and final checks. Stand united with them, dont break ranks. Tomorrow it will be pay cuts for everyone, every new base, every new transfer if we let it through.
Come on guys, off the fence, Irish, British, Yugoslav, Kiwi, Russian, American or whatever. This means you. Stand by your colleagues. It may be you who need the backing next week.
