Spineless, I don't disagree at all. Most sensible people in the airline realise it takes two to tango. The perception (repeat perception) of many in the rest of the organisation is that the AOA are determined to undermine the airline for their own purposes. They will argue negotiation failed thus they were left with no alternative. The vicious circle then begins, and we end up with the entrenched positions we now see.
One thing which has the rest of us non flight ops types a bit puzzled....
Maybe simplistic but..... A scales have had significant pay cuts (okay in exchange for stock options which everyone who has them thinks worthless but the rest of us would like)...the B scales have had nothing but good news in terms of pay and conditions. Why is it then we are told the B scale are the most unhappy and seeting in DB. Words of one syllable please.
Thanks
