Well,as a rotorhead expat I can't believe you're still carrying on like this.Social meetings have been tried before, with the same dismal turn out( bolstered by company spies).You have to accept that those flying helicopters for a living are not going to have a lot of get up and go or they'd have got up and gone.As for having a salary on par with easy and go etc. you have to realise you can fit 180 pax on a 737 800, how many can you get on a 332? Also the last time I checked nobody was paying for a seat to the basin.5 or more years ago you sat and watched the proactive members of your industry leave for pastures new, you may aswell resign yourselves to what you have in the way of terms and conditions, because nobody believes you can or will vote with your feet.
