Cityworld, I was also in CJ back when the Holiday Inn was our second home
There are a few details of this "commuting" option you may not be aware of, things have changed a lot since then...
Commuting does not guarantee nightstops in Paris, there is a proposed roster pattern of 6 on 3 off with nightstops in CDG which in one of the communications meetings was described as "theoretical" by the big man himself. It looks like the plan is to move CJ out of Paris altogether.
Also, dont forget that these guys were told they would have to make a decision within days of the changes being announced and that they would have to move to either Dub or Lcy before January, although there had been roumors circulating for months which indicates that this is not a last-minute decision....
You might remember that this isn't the first time (FLR base?)
If I tried to desribe to you how bad the treatment (of the cabin crew and pilots especially) has been in the last years, I wouldn't even know where to begin.. Cliques, favoritism, discriminaton...
All I'm saying is it's easy to judge from the outside.
We all make our own beds, that's true, but just look at the big picture...
