Guess what? None of them was actually complaining...

So let me see. A perfect stranger approaches me and asks if I am happy. Do I a) spill my guts and tell him all the inside information or b) smile sweetly, say nice things and walk away?
No Sir, IŽd choose c)...
c) I just post inside info for all the well known guys on pprune, a very private and intimate webpage viewed only by those who can keep a secret...
I talked to a french, a dutch, a belgian and a finnish guy - none said its paradise, but all had a very similar background to mine and said that their life has improved considerably since they joined. No one was arguing about a paycut - so maybe they joined later ? My best GUESS about the paycut is, that they offered real good money in the begining to start the hole thing and since they still loose money they have to do something about it. So they take the fast lane and take it away from the employees. No news here, happened to many people in our industry (Lufthansa, Deutsche BA, PanAm, TWA, United etc.etc.)
If youŽre bitter - leave or fight for a better company style - thats what IŽd do.
I guess youŽre pissed because they changed a very good contract into a good contract - still I think its a better deal than most companies in exec offer...
