This all makes extremely interesting reading, but I have to agree with an earlier comment - all new F/Os at GSS read the Terms and Conditions before joining the company but are still quite happy to sign. Then a few months down the line they begin to complain about the tough life they lead. It seems to me that no matter what airline some people may work for they are never happy. The aviation industry is full of rife and rumours and why speculate on the future of GSS until anything is actually set in stone? And perhaps it may make peoples jobs a little less miserable even if the F/Os do decide to leave, perhaps they could look back and appreciate the other things like 2-3 days off down route, the cheap shopping, seldom called out from standby and if it is a call out, usually it is pre-planned. Personally I would rather that than earn £100K plus but do 4-6 sector days, 5 to 6 days in a row, and minumum rest in between each one and called out on every standby
