My career is beside the point. Ts&Cs are not falling due to divide and rule. They are falling as far too many people are training and trained as crew.
The company is exposed to the market at the consumer end, resulting in prices and yields falling, yet their labour supply is sheltered from falling labour prices due to the unionisation.
Why do you think that they want to divide and rule? Because they have to before easyJet, Emirates and Ryanair eat them alive on respective long and shorthaul routes with their lower costs and lack of unions.
If outsourcing to cheaper labour is meant to so good and fully equivalent to the home grown product, how come we don't see company chief execs and management boards being filled with low cost candidates...
Many good quality candidates enter Private Equity areas instead as the remuneration on boards is often inadequate. Explaining perhaps the thieving management rubbish that remain.
