thegypsy, I don't buy that arguement; plenty of troops in WW1, but led a merry dance by appalling generals/leadership.
At the moment, whether right or wrong, the impression is that the CC pushed a controversial agreement through with threats and sometimes bullying tactics that left many scratching their heads and asking themselves to whose benefit was the deal for? The pilots or the company?
Because if the benefit was for me, the pilot, I don't see it, both in terms of my new roster and how my leave has been stuffed around. But I see plenty of benefit for the company, both in terms of my new roster and how my leave has been stuffed around with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So if there is an element of doubt raised by the actions of the CC then of course those who feel hard done by regarging the new deal will naturally ask questions about the real motives of those involved.
