I think the issue of members meetings was canvassed by the faaa at their last set of meetings last year. MM clearly indicated that Long Haul crew would have some tough decisions to make in the next couple of years.
The FAAA Exec have spoken internally about the very things that Lowerlobe has raised and it is clearly on the agenda for this year as already outlined by MM.
The New york dispensation was in many respects a litmus test for Long HAul crew and clearly i believe a message has been sent to the company at the highest levels that the majority of crew are prepared to take a pragmatic look at their cost structure and make decisions on a case by case basis.
if i am correct lowerlobe, you are suggesting that we take a holistic approach rather than a case by case basis and perhaps try work out a longer term stragegy of being competitive with those with a lower cost base who are at the moment circling us and threatening our job security.
Just a Question Lowerlobe?? What is on the table from your perspective and what is off the table?? i would just be interested in your opinion on this one.
