Seems a little pointless as to who,s making and not making money,if you think you know where it all goes,would be interested to hear.....
Contracts are contracts,and mgt needs to adhere them....we follow your rules,fly the A/C the way you want us to fly them,....mgt should abide by the contracts the signed off on...if things change,which they all do,side-letters(to the contract)are signed off,with the participation all parties involved(yeah right!!!!)
Being a fairly small pilot group,the chook pilots obviously dont have a lot of resources at hand,pilot strength wise or $$$$$ wise,but there are ways to bring mgt kuri closer to their kness.....take a close look at some of Delta airlines tactics,and yes they are a much bigger airline with a lot more clout,but there tactics have also worked for smaller entities .
I think it has been proven ,thats strikes in the end, very seldom have worked in the favour of the pilot groups,ie American,Ansett,and countless others.
Better to be at work,getting a paycheck,and benefits(if any) than to be on the street,sitting around like a spare
pr#ck at a party.
Union and pilot groups are only as strong and effective as there membership,those that participate, as opposed to those that come to work, get a paycheck,go home and refuse to contribute to the larger cause,and you will always have that type on member.Hopefully at chook,they are united and have strong participation.Strike Action should be the last resort
