Time to start persuading people that it is an unattractive career, to prevent the wave of over-enthusiastic youngsters entering the profession, thus driving down the price of the labour...
Good luck with that....
Some of us, over the years, have received a reasonable wage for pushing heavy iron...and generally don't complain.
Others it would seem, apparently think that it is their God -given right to be paid excessively...and yet complain all the time.
BA pilots appear to be in this category.
Now they have had their wake-up call...as it was sure to arrive, at some point.
I would expect that a few former DanAir guys are smiling today, for they didn't get mad....just had to wait a few years...to get even.
BALPA..proven once again, not up to the task.
And never will be.
Why?
Realistic airline economic statistics in todays (not yesterdays) world.
Like it or lump it.
