Wondering, Thanks for your comments and highlighting my blatant error.
Jet2. One of the most sensible posts I have read here.
I would happily go to BALPA with more than just the option of banning SSTRs if people thought that would help. Those of us against the practice of SSTRs have come up with a few ideas that could help. All I can get out of the other side of your camp is "you're wasting your time"!!
I hear what you say about companies having to absorb costs elsewhere if SSTRS are banned. I however think that when you can buy a TR for £25K incl VAT the cost to the company would at least be VAT free and when numerous TRs are bought by a company or done in house, the cost would drop considerably, especially when you use your own aircraft for the base check.
Just as a thought, if pilots could actually work together to get a ban on SSTRs then surely maintaing Ts and Cs would be easier considering they are already working together.
Leveling the uneven playing field as you put it is actually what I was hoping to achieve. Thanks for your comments.
