Today's pigs are tomorrows' bacon.
Clarrie,
I know that NJS has said to you that they have sought to tender at the lowest price. As part of the low price, the cost of training on the B717 has been passed onto you. They have either said or implied that you continued employment is contingent upon the pilot group asceeding to this request/demand. This sounds like an 'Or Else...' to me.
