As an industry we have suffered greatly over the past six months. Airline managent have used Sept 11th to their advantage to reduce the pilot workforce and bargin for lower terms and conditions. In my company we have lost the longhaul B scale without so much as a decent fight. The "agreement for service" which has been fought for by so many, for many years is under threat. We have seen many co workers forced to take COMPULSARY REDUNDANCY. . .BALPA must be the only union to accept redundancys with such ease. CD has increased membership numbers over the past few years, so the loss of 40 or so members contributing their 1% does not really show up on the balance sheet. . .The loss of just ONE members job through compulsary redundancy should be grounds for Chris Darke to go.
