Great idea (if not a tad slow in coming thanks to previous/old AIPA) but why is it that SO many of us seem to discount its possibility just because Geoff Dixon/John Borghetti/Chief Pilot say 'it will never happen'. It's spin, posturing and simply a negotiating position to try to achieve larger concessions through greater fear and uncertainty among all pilots.
We should be asking management to explain exactly
why they refuse to entertain the idea? Why is it 'too expensive'? Time will tell how cost effective it is to keep hammering your staff when other companies are increasing salaries in order to be able to meet their expansion plans.
Yet again, I'm underwhelmed and DO NOT BELIEVE the pronouncements of QF management. Double-standards, arrogance and self interest continue to be the hallmarks of their style IMHO.
