Well at least you stimulated some debate.
But you are all missing the point.
This is not about the amount of money pilots - or any other group in FR for that matter - make in a year.
It's not quibbling by the "most cossetted group of employees" in the world.
This is about :
- the right to be represented collectively
- the right to a common contract for each group of staff
- the right to work in a company without consistently looking over one's shoulder.
Comparison between MYT and FR are immaterial. I have no idea what work BALPA undertook for those pilots. But I reckon that there were no communications from management to those pilots à la the FR ones we have previously read about on internet forums.
The guys in FR have a simple choice. If they want to do something about their situation, IALPA and BALPA are there to assist. Good luck to you all!
