Uplock, you are so right about your statements.
Their silence is a result of the last meeting we had with them. Them being Adel and TCK. They got it with both barrels and rightly so. On many issues.
They would'nt dare call a general pilot's meeting now because they are too sh** scared of what the response will be this time round. So instead they select a few pilots, call a meeting and then Adel has separate meetings for only the Nationals. What does that tell us?
As a matter of fact, the one and only meeting that was a success was the one held with Tim Clark and Maurice. It was the only meeting that produced a positive outcome and a positive atmosphere. But I sadly suspect that those days are gone.
No back bone, just some spineless attempts at trying to BS their way round a spiraling situation. That we are going to and have already started parking aeroplanes is another story. They are now desperately looking for ways to conduct training. eg. via BA, Alteon, etc... Costing them huge money. But why should they have listened years ago when we told them about pay and conditions for both the line pilots and trainers? Arrogance and Greed! Now it's here! And it's biting them in the Rump!! Ha ha, putting it mildly.
What a pity! Great potential, but no follow through! Only threats, FCI's and bla bla bla bla!
Even if we had a union they could'nt have organised this screw up better than these guys have. And they have done it all by themselves, to themselves. Without any assistance. There is a lot more to this life and this job than accomodation provided and school fees paid for. Good Luck and Goodnight EK! Very well put Squeely! And once again, WELL DONE!
