The manager...
Well said management, i agree with all you said actually, why should you be generous to us especially as we are scrambling over ourselves to screw us!! Why would the company offer better +55 conditions when guys are sticking their hands up to fly freighters on C scale!!!! etc etc etc.
Lets remember the fact that the fuel surcharge revenue that you obtained throughout last year got pushed asside in our operating profit results, something that would have helped trigger the profit formula.
However, enjoy your time whilst it lasts. You will be wishing one day that you read that "best practices" hand book that you have gathering dust at the bottom of the draw!!!
