Just to stir the pot a little because I can't resist it.
This is great! Nice to see some attitude at last. Gone are the tones of complacency. At last, thank goodness, they're being replaced by a gentle lean towards militancy. Damn right too! We have every right to be disgruntled, even angry. Let's keep talking ourselves up and our terms down. Let's keep reminding our employers and ourselves of our true value. If the job looks easy to them, gently remind them it's because
we made it look easy! That's right, we're skilled professionals and deserve to be paid as such. Let's consider the possibility of some kind of united representation through BALPA and let's keep the T&Cs issue at the top of the agenda.
Someone, somewhere will have to offer a significant improvement, the rest will inevitably follow.
