The vast majority of joiners are TRSS just now. Like it or loathe it (and many like it!)
FlapsOne,
I have a serious question for you. I paid eJ £23,000 for the job (with a standard salary). I wasn't paid for 3.5 months. I had my salary reduced by 10% for the next 6 months. I paid for my uniform. I was then told that all my base requests were denied, and I had to re-locate to a different country at my own cost.
My question is: what is it that these pilots like about TRSS? Seriously. Because I might have missed the point, and as such am not enjoying the benefits of TRSS as much as I should.
I was considering joining BALPA. But it is a matter of economics. The last pay rise was 1.98% pa. If I have to pay BALPA for negotiating this, then my pay rise is a whopping 0.98%. Sorry, but I've been fleeced once recently, and won't be fleeced again.
Anyway, I'm off now to spend my loyalty bonus. I'm sure I put it somewhere... Oh, no, I forgot, that was negotiated away from me too.
