NSN,
No I'm not a member of the cheerleading team, does shagging hosties count?
Good points, there are most certainly other mouths to feed apart from the pilots.
The fact is that it is very hard to negotiate if one party dosen't bother to show up. As for letting the company know when the meeting is, the dates and times are agreed by both parties at the end of the previous meeting.
The pilots want industry standard wages, nothing outrageous.
The fact is if you don't like it leave, which is what A LOT of the pilots will be doing shortly, it still suprises me that the company can't understand why?
The only reason that the boys arn't getting worked hard at the moment is that the company dosn't know what to do with us, if they needed to work us hard i'm sure we would be getting ridden like a mechanical bull.
As to those applying, as NSN says, do your homework, and be carefull what you wish for you just might get it.....
