Thank for the reply. I understand that erosion of terms and conditions is a perpetual war of attrition and that resources are limited, with many pilots feel they are unable to effect change.
When you talk about the fight for your own terms and conditions as being different to that of the improvement of terms and conditions for new hires, that highlights my point. T&Cs of new hires directly affects T&Cs of established pilots. An influx of lower salaried pilots will devalue pilots across the spectrum.
We all like to bemoan the guys who are paying for hours, and they seem to be our punching bag. But with no one else looking out for them, they're doing what they see fit to get hired, to the detriment of the industry. Unfortunately, we'll no doubt all do nothing and it all goes in the 'Too Hard' box until one day flying won't be a viable employment option.
