Have to agree with chikenscanfly this has only come about since March/April and end of year results and there are plans afoot via the unions to provide protection. In saying that Balpa have been particularly anonymous lately!

Up until this point terms and conditions were acceptable and possibly better than in some other companies. Eg Fixed roster, posted 1 month in advance, no night stops, no night flying, **** load of money(5k month), decent equipment.

Those things above have not changed but yes many things have. But its not just as simple people make out as this is a big company now with over 700 pilots and many of those scattered to bases all over Europe.

I have thought about voting with my feet but I cant find another company out there in the UK where I can keep my Command and will provide me with those things I have stated above. Thats the reality unfortunately!
