I have to comment on one key statement. R elationships with management are at an all time low. After 34 years with the company I am at a loss to know at what point they were ever anything else but in that state. Such comments have no relevance anymore and irrespective of this and negative media there are still 3000 enquiries a week for the role of cabin crew and relatively high numbers of applicants as direct entry pilots. In other words the same objections to changes in T & C have been around for ever. At best the unions can only mount stop gap objections to the many changes that are and will dimish out existing situation with pay and allowances. The outcome is always the same we are still not earning enough revenue and the opposition continues to improve and offer better value and service. ThAt iS a fACT and the travelling public care little about our complaints it just leads to more pax on other carriers.
