GM01 No but until aviation starts to treat Pilots & Cabin Crew and Engineers like human beings Employees will fight for their terms & conditions.
IMHO there is a cartel within the UK that is trying to drive crews salaries down into the gutter.
Lets keep the pressure on until somebody wakes up.
Before anyone jumps down my neck about being human. Why is it that it is deemed OK for Pilots to land an aircraft after being up(awake) for20 hrs and then drive home,(stby + duty) whereas a lorry driver would be charged by the police. Or position somewhere then operate e.g. Position in the back economy seating to banjul then immediatly jump in the cockpit and operate back. Most crew have seen all of this and more.
We deserve proper pay and conditions just like everybody else. Oh & if I make a mistake I can't just tear it up and throw it in the bin and start again!
