Written by Norman Stanley Fletcher:
It is frankly difficult to second guess what was in our managers' minds as it is difficult to imagine a more foolish way of approaching the negotiations.
Call me paranoid, but I feel that there is something fishy about all this.
Mike´s email is written in such a clumsy way and so badly timed that there MUST be more behind it.
Is management steering toward a conflict with the pilot corps in order to divert attention from other issues like disappointing profit due to incompetence at management level?
Do they want to reduce growth and is this a way of ´laying off´ pilots? ?
Have they finally realized that a strong pilot corps is actually benificial to the company?
Are those management pilots so far removed from reality that they completely underestimated the situation?
I´m puzzled.
But in the mean time I will continue to recruit more members for BALPA! Let´s aim for 100%!!
