It's not that we don't give a damn
jindabyne, but why should we take all the blame? The management have every chance to not let it get anywhere near that far.
Our leaders & senior managers are, IMO, trying to get richer on the backs of our pension. That displeases me to the point of being prepared to fight back.
I have no wish to inconvenience anyone (except BA management), but what other course of action do we have? And yes, if push comes to shove, I too don't give a damn about what anyone else thinks, especially the Nigel 'knockers' on here... I am trying to protect what was promised to me when I joined, nothing more, nothing less.
Why is pension debt less important than any other debt? Because it's easier to renege on maybe?
And as for the green-eyed monsters out there... For the non-pilots, I'm not really interested in their opinion, if you want my T&Cs then go and train as a pilot. As for other pilots, well I just don't understand where you get off! All pilots should be wanting our profession's T&Cs to be as good as possible... Understand the 'ratchet' effect; for years now we have been
ratcheted down by self sponsored type rating candidates (I don't blame them, I'd have done the same if I'd had to), a situation created because the Airlines had a surplus of pilots.
Wouldn't it be good if we started
ratcheting up our T&Cs? Well, it starts with those at the top stopping the rot IMO, and this is as rotten as it gets!
