My point EPR man is what is the alternative. Airbus Girl things there are many alternatives and yet still insists on staying and constantly whinging. Rostering earlies after a day off is the norm in most airlines and was with us . We are lucky many dont even have a scheduling agreement to fall back on, indeed neither did we until just a few years ago.
We must continue to push for improved terms and conditions but be realistic at the same time. If you owned the company as our shareholders do, you would insist the pilots work their contracted hours of 900. So lets get real banging of the door is always going to be fruitless. The only mileage we may get is if as an entity the pilot workforce lobbied to change the laws regarding CAP371.
That means letters to MPs followed by letters to MPs etc etc.
Airbus and the like seem more interested in letters to PPrune.
So please stop slagging off a company that provide you with a good salary and look from the position of you being in the management post. (eg. flog the pilots until they can take no more or the rules change). They have taken it for over 10 years few pilots have left. Why change summut that aint broke!!!!That is there attitude and I cant blame them.
