Oh Rubik you are so right. I actually think ezy is better than most places too, right now. Pilots will always whinge, and if ezy offered a £100k payrise, some would still whinge they werent paying the tax for them too. There will be no end to it.
However, in our company, BALPA is the recognised negotiator for crew, so by choosing not to support your negotiator, then you are undermining their bargaining on your behalf. Pure fact. If we had membership at the levels they enjoy in Virgin, we probably wouldnt be in this dilemma now.
