Nice one, Dublin Airgirl. Very enjoyable to watch you dismantle CaptKremin
Reading through the nearly 300 posts in this thread the one thing that comes out loud and clear is the arrogance of those who purport to represent the views of professional pilots. In most cases the only response they can offer is to insult and/or ridicule anyone who puts forward any opinion that differs from theirs.
Tooloose, you are quite right. I would strike if my pay was going to be reduced unless the very existence of my Company was at stake in which case I would have to reconsider. But I would not strike if my Company decides to open a new division in another jurisdiction and employ staff on different terms. Even if those terms were better than mine I would just have to grin and bear it. That's the real world out there in 2007.
