Please don't tar all senior captains with the same brush. Yes there are some wide-body, over 55 age pilots, who have an easy life and are happy with the status quo. Then there are the rest of us. We didn't want the new inferior terms and conditions, but with a weak CC at the time, what could we do? You can't strike without union backing.
We warned you guys who've joined on the new contracts, via pprune, but join you did. We told you it was a bum deal, but some people ignored the advice, joined anyway and then winged that they were getting less than the people on the old contract, as if it was our fault. It is not our fault.
However we arrived here, we have to deal with the situation we're in. If we turn our anger against each other, then management have total victory on a plate.
My position is that I will willingly go on strike for the DC pension or the removal of "the bar". But please, stop moaning about the deal YOU SIGNED UP FOR. The more senior pilots have done nothing to harm your lot. In fact we were fighting for you before you joined. And we want to help you now.
