this is my first ever post! pause for applause to slowly dwindle.......
I have never felt any particular urge to air my views,but these pay negotiations have changed all that.
NSF, I would like to have your babies.If you ever want to stand for parliament, you have got my vote.So far, you have,in succinct and erudite fashion,voiced everything I have wanted to say on this issue but couldn't be bothered to.
Gosh,I've even re-joined BALPA!
Ladies and Gennulmen, we should be looking at the example of our colleagues in Virgin Atlantic.Same old crap from management-can't afford it,tough times,jam tomorrow,blah blah..... But-the guys and gals held out for their goal-parity with BA.Nothing outrageous,just parity.Ezy is no longer the new upstart up against the big boys.it is a mature,profit-making airline that needs a suitable package to make it a career airline of choice,not default.
The company can afford £26k for an ad in the Times to say ta to Webster.It can afford a £6 million bonus for the bosses.It can afford a £2 million goodbye package to Webster.It can afford very generous share options for the management (only the management....).
IT CAN AFFORD A DECENT PACKAGE FOR US.
Accept nothing less.
Get out the donkey jackets for the picket line......
