"Sure everyone is entitled to fair pay conditions etc... BUT... People place way too much importance on it."

You're kidding right!

The very reason we are in this crisis today is due to years of management efforts to subdue pay and conditions. Do we live in the greatest country in the world? Absolutely. do I for one feel blessed for living the dream? Every day.

The fact is however that bills have to be paid, children have to be clothed and fed, and I don't think it unreasonable that people be properly remunerated for their years of sacrifices. Especially in times when skills are in short supply! Is it any wonder that people jump ship when their company continues to treat them as if they are a disposable commodity.

The real issue here is the very survival of Regional aviation as we know it. Make no mistake, Mr Kumar and his ilk are presiding over a corporate f#ck up! When the dust settles someone is going to write a thesis on all of this, and those who read it will wonder as to how they got something so simple so wrong!
