It's a fact - ALL airline managements are trying to undermine the professional status that pilots have historically (and justifiably) had. Just look at the charter sector where I work. They would like to see incremental pay scales go and pay rises limited to what the rest of the company gets.
Fine, BUT, no acount is made of the twice annual threat to our existance and livelihood (medicals and sim). Furthermore, there is no acknowledgement that for some, a debt of some £60K put them in the flight deck.
We in the UK are STILL underpaid. Strike?? Yes.......why not. Let's ALL do it!
