TMR
What I am trying to say is that the negative mindset has to be reversed. All of us are members of unions IPA, BALPA etc. Personally this has made no difference in my needs, ambitions or professional furtherance.
The main reason is that a mindset has set in which is difficult to change because everyone is so focussed on getting more pay they have lost sight of "why" they should get more pay.... is it necessary to pay a pilot so much, when (as one of a management put it) ... he is just a driver!
If you need any further explanation then p.m. Also what is your contribution? This is not the only forum where people are harping on joining unions etc.. It is there in the Easy forum also .. so what have you said that is new?
