Some of you UK guys really make me laugh, do you ever stop complaining? You should have moved across 3 years ago like your former colleagues did, I can't believe you ever thought that a money losing expensive "Low cost" airline like Buzz would ever last and be kept running.
The single strongest bond that aircrew the world over share is that we never stop complaining so that little bit is an irrelevance. With regard moving over three years ago then for some in hindsight this would have been a sensible solution but you can only act on the information you have at the time plus a little bit of crystal ball gazing. The pilots were informed by the KLM appointee head of Buzz that plans were in hand for expansion and the losses at the start were inevitable as would changes in the way it operated. The possibility of transfer to Buzz at an agreed rate was the corerstone for most people not joining mainline, of course we did not know straight away about the agreement between KLM and the VNV to get rid of pilots to buzz at an agreed rate. You are in a fortunate position working for a good company and with a secure future no doubt brought about by much hard work and cost. The UK pilots don't want anything to change for you, they are not a threat to you or anyone for that matter. We would like fair treatment and the chance to share in the sucess of the airline. At the moment we feel like contract extras just making up the numbers.
