Let ´Fat Mike,´ Paul T. and Jim P. worry about all those cancelled flights because of crew shortages as more and more people move to greener pastures.
Sure, they can (try to) play hardball and stand by their previous pathetic offer, but what will happen is that more and more pilots will resign, leaving fewer and fewer pilots who will have to work harder and harder which in turn means that more and more pilots reach FTL limits (or call in sick/fatigued) and more and more flights get cancelled/subleased.
We probably won´t even have to go to the industrial action stage. The company will do it for us! They are their own worst enemies!
What we/BALPA needs to do is keep the troops united and stall for time as EZY management throws more and more sand into their own gears by cancelling flights and wasting "shareholder value" by subleasing and positioning/ferrying/hotacing crews througout the network.
(No wonder they want to cancel sector pay for positioning crews under this new deal...)
It´s gonna be a HOT summer!
