Couldn't agree more with BPM and er82.
But we are going off point.....
As i understand BPM's point the whole easyjet correlation was to show, in general, that pilots who use flybe as a stop gap don't care about the salary and terms and conditions and therefore vote YES. This in turn scuppers the rest of the pilot workforce into reluctantly accepting 5% even if we voted NO.
This clearly needs to change and its important to get the message through to all Balpa members to stand firm and vote NO be that through pprune, flyingbe, on the flight deck or in the pub.
Talks with the CC and management are in critical stages....as new concessions were agreed at a previous meeting then disagreed during the next conversation.
Surely there's proof i hear you cry...the minutes of the meeting......that's true but unfortunatley the minutes of the previous meeting are agreed at the beginning of the next meeting....leaving negociations in the balance.
It seems the CC rep's are in a game of poker with the management at the moment. Jim French thinks the CC are bluffing and will fold thereby accepting 5%. I also think that he believes the CC rep's don't have the balls to take negociations to dispute with Balpa.
Bullies only respond to strength...........and I for one hope the CC rep's stand firm and don't concede on any of the points they are trying to achieve.
Time to give Jim a
like Tony.
