Grrr

Been here a long time,and Gulfa,Uplink,Dropp,Emma,people like you,allow this once good job to be continually eroded,because of your attitude of apeasement,and acceptance,you tacitly approve the scandal that is going on,no doubt you all aspire to the second floor at EOC,one day and a car parking spot.We all know,and see people like you,you do none of us any favours.

No one is suggesting,harmful damaging action is acceptable,but take it easy on 14,he at least raises valid points,again,not one pilot,was consulted prior to implementation.So what do we do,what can we do?Nothing?Well we could all try to represent ourselves,by writing,asking for a meeting,several hundred letters would get noticed,that something clearly isnt right,But I suspect,people like you will do,exactly nothing,just wait for others with some guts to at least try,and challenge,what would in many airlines,be unacceptable.

We are being railroaded,with no representation,and that simply is not professional,nor fair,but it is a fact of life here,as you all so rightly acknowledge.Its a paycut,pure and simple,except,for junior TRIs who will gain.There is no more money,its been split up differently,thats all.

As for payrise,profit share,being paid for 3 crew to JFK,not blocking 4 days in a row,Uplink,youre dreaming,manual inserts will occur as reqd,but no doubt that wont pose a problem,for people like you,no doubt 2 crew to PER,JFK,KIX would be fine by you too.

It was an excellent job,run by professional,people with some integrity,and decency,thats fast disappearing.

Your collective apathy,will lead us all further into the inevitable,'just another job",just a number,just a driver,and we all know where that leads.Think of that,when youre doing a week of reserve,for no credit,after deadheading,around the network for no credit,prior to taking your leave for no credit,to come back to work huge hours,in whats left of the month,for strangely enough,no overtime.

And you all think thats just fine.?Wake up.

Sad day for us all.QB
