I think Speed Alt* has it right. Forget pay and conditions. Think we need to start advertising the fact that we get to live in houses, get driven to work, and can join a pilot organised club to get discounts!! Reckon it will rise from the famous 20 to 25 suckers per day to over 30!!!
Makes living with poor pay, and working conditions seem insignificant really.
Next time you are feeling a bit weary in the car on the way home, after a dawn landing, after the all nighter flight from hell, pull out your EPC card and revive in the glow of knowing that when you get a day off you will be able to get a good discount at the pub.
All makes sense now.
