Ground Engineers are free to post on here ... we are flight crew so we should be able to as well.
Someone said juniors whinge but make no suggestions to the seniority system, well here are some:-
> Open time to be awarded in reverse seniority;
> Dump system like short haul
> Holidays on rotation
> Seniority on rotation
> Bids for trip days away only, rather than destination (Lifestyle bidding ie ' want a certain type of trip' rather than 'this specific trip' )
> Days off bids only
> Equal Share system for destinations
All can be accomplished, with the new Jepp system, all are options available.... all are compromises, but the senior FAAA execs have already said they want to have the same system !!
And as others have said, the growing discontent is growing, growing and growing. the seniors will lose EVERYTHING if they wont compromise ... the juiniors have absoloutely nothing to lose, as we have nothing already.
Juniors will be happy to compromise, rather than take the seniority system down, but we will take it down if needed !
