Capt Sensible,
I agree with you 100%, let us show these people some professional support.
In any case, from a selfish point of view, if the Iberian Pilots are taking industrial action to improve their T & C's (however good they are 'percieved' to be right now) then we all can possibly benefit in the long run in the 'benchmarking' process that will inevitably form part of the negotiating process of any other European airline.
Secret Squirrel please take note of the above as BALPA are 'benchmarking' all operators and you personally could benefit significantly as a result. Hopefully I will see you at tomorrow night's LGW BALPA members meeting!
Regards
Exeng
