Exactly crewbus, the company spent thousands and thousands of dollars in advertising using glossy propoganda making up DVDs and priority postage to try to convince us of thier view.

This Pilot used a few hours of his time, and knowledge of how the company works using thier past experience with their EBA. Nothing he wrote, in my mind was wrong, it actaully highlighted all the fine print a lot of us wouldn't have thought of.

Kind of like an insurance policy, a salesman may make it sound really good, but when you buy it and make a claim you find out it wasn't worth the paper written on.

Stand firm guys and when you fill out the survey remember that inflation for the last year has been 3.4% and if you look food and housing seperately it's well above 5%. So if we accept 3% from the company we are going backwards at a huge rate because after tax 3% becomes 2.2%

Our condtions have been going backwards for quite a few years now, we must turn the tide now otherwise they will just keep getting worse.
