I think that the whole problem is...... ENVY
...
Our new bosse Imagine that we are by a Pool somewhere sipping G&Ts..
I am sure that in the past this would have been a fair assumption.
HOWEVER, today, we are a hard working group. I have a colleague who is currently working in XXX and is on his 10th straight day. Earlier this year the same chap worked a transit in YXX, got on the aircraft, flew to LHR, got on another aircraft to ZZZ and worked a late shift. How many other departments would work these hours as a matter of course?
What would the CAA do if they knew??? (Oh, nothing. As they are in BAs pocket!)
There are 50 of us with similar stories, and our bosses in Line Maintenance still think we are pulling a fast one
.
I understand that we are all refusing to take the 5% pay cut. In effect we have already lost 20%. Enough is enough.
If anyone from Emirates reads this I think you might be able to snap us up in a shot
.
If I'm going to lose my job it should be after we all gave it our best shot, not because some envious bast@rd does not have the foresight to use us to the maximum effect.
