bluepilot - what would you do if after joining Openskies, your management (inept and immoral...as you may find out) decide to set up another company to employ pilots to do your job for less than the going rate? Wouldn't you ballot your fellow Openskies pilots to protect your agreed T's and C's?
In a way, it is a pity that you didn't join us in BA. I've lost count of the number of newbies that join us ranting about millionaire BA pilots living like Lords doing bugger all work. Normally, they change their tune after 6 months. Those that don't seem to go into management to work out ways of enriching themselves at evrybody else's expense. If you join Openskies, you will find this out. Knowing the management involved in Openskies, all I can say is "Good Luck". You will need it. Please don't say you weren't warned.
