Yeah Kraut is right. You won't find ezy pilots fighting for the abolition of TRSS. There weren't enough of us prepared to strike to improve our own terms and conditions, let alone the terms and conditions of those yet to join. With local contracts the next divide and conquer tactic from our fabulously well rewarded management from now on we are likely to see an even weaker resolve within our own ranks to preserve our T&Cs.

There is a backlog of flightdeck applications at the moment, and the company are trying to offload pilots for the winter through such initiatives as unpaid leave and the famous "lifestyle enhancement opportunity" in India. Hence the reason that despite record profits and record management bonuses we recently got offered what is essentially a wage freeze. The company can replace us with guys willing to work for far less, and they know it.

So TRSS is here to stay, for the time being at least.
