Hi guys/gals.
Let me play the devils advocate here for a moment.
Would it be a fair comment that when a group of people is trying to achieve a goal i.e better T and C's that if you are patient long enough a situation will arise that you can put to your advantage i.e a pilot shortage.
I suspect that this is about the first time since 89 that a real shortage of pilots (using the current T and C's, in other words enough pilots available but not at the going rates offered by management) has occurred.
So is this the best chance you've had to put some serious pressure on the gangulies of management.
If this is the case then is seems that the airlines have said stiff s..t we'll look elsewere.
Don't get me wrong i've go quite a few close friends in mainline positions and i would love to see them get better T and C's.
I guess the question i would ask is where do you go from here if this was the the best chance of getting what you wanted and given that you've held strong for so long.
Fly safe and play hard.
Regards to all.
