Guys, as a mere wannabe (albeit of 8 years now
) ofcourse I'm no mastermind on the subject but what I can clearly see is that the onus is upon you pilots to realise that what is happening at the lower end of the food chain
WILL ineveditebly lead to the lowering of your terms and conditions (if it isn't happening already).
Fine, if youre Ts & Cs aren't affected now then you have to be willing to say "I don't give a !!!!!!" to the following (which I believe a lot of you do):
Somebody with identical experience to yourself, doing an identical job, albeit in 10 years time earning the same or less (in real terms) than what you are earning now.
You frequently fight for pay, roster stability and pension amongst other things. Well protecting those at the bottom of the line by forcing your airline to pay for all training should be another. If you don't protect this baby the rot will creep right up and bite you in the ass and the next 3-5 years is all that you have to fix this problem.
I would love to fight for this cause, but need a job first!
