I have been around a few of the bases over the last few days and the "Word on the Street" is NO!
I am very concerned at the moment about the various "Deals" being offered to some Pilots (Captains and First Officers) to reconsider their positions regarding their start dates with their new employers.
Some have been offered "Contract Captain's Per Diem," even though they are First Officers; to delay their start dates to work for a few more days prior to joining their new airline.
0thers have been enticed back and pursuaded to either withdraw their notice period or to jack in the the course they have already started.
You can not blame them if the offer is too good to refuse.
This begs the questions:-
What if we all handed in our notice?
Why are we not all being treated equally?
Why are we in this mess in the first place?
Why should anyone work for a normal day off payment when this sort of "Deal" is available to others who have decided to jump ship?
What does this say about how our company treat those that have been loyal and stay through thick and thin ?
"Word on the Street" is we are now looking at, at least double figures to go some way to redress the balance.
Some of the company Stalwarts are now prepared for industrial action.
Let the Games Begin.............
