SO, fancy figure shuffling has given us a 15% pay cut, as well as being rostered to do more flying than ever. So what
are we going to do about it? Has the rest of the company been given a pseudo 15% pay cut? Are we going to do anything?
Of course not, and that is why they can do whatever they want. We are all tied in to a minimum of seven years to get full benefits from the provident scheme. Kids in schools, villas and apartments that have now been purchased, car loans, etc. etc. These are just a few of the reasons why so many of us cannot contemplate leaving. As well as the minor fact that there is nowhere to go to. The industry is not exactly swinging rapidly upwards and won't do for a long time when oil is now $55 a barrel!
So, what to do? Just enjoy the sunshine I guess, but even that dissappeared today when it clouded over! Yes, my glass is half empty.
