How will people be forced to change to a local contract?
They will find a way...just like they found a way to get away with a very very mediocre pay increase during a red hot pilot market whilst making profit after profit and close to 1 billion Pounds in cash.
Pilots (just like most other folks) are unfortunately very gullible and are easily scared into something.
It all comes down to what
one believes that they are worth. Well...most cadets will "fly for food" and most older captains have a family to think about. That leaves senior FO's that are thinking/kissing ass about their command and junior captains that are new in the LHS.
Joe_bar, which ones of those people that I mentioned above do you think will
refuse to sign a local contract? Or do you think that Balpa will come to the rescue?
