"The Management" and the real management must really love reading this thread it fits their argument very well as to why they do not need to give us a pay rise. There are a few mental pygmies around.
We have the "new" dreamers who think they are going to change the world - nobody has tried it before and we are going to have a really strong union because of the new GC they wish elected. The sad people who just continually blame the "A" scalers - and before anyone asks I am B scale - and obviously spout off without getting their facts correct. Just the sort of new commander we want - goes off at a tangent with blinkered ideas and views.
The pilots that think they are the only ones that have been disadvantaged and that anyone that does not have his retirement sorted by the time they are 40 is a looser. There are a lot of Captains and Senior First Officers who have already had their careers disadvantaged and would like the chance to recover some of their losses. So for those that might have their career slightly disadvantaged - but will have the extra years available to them to recover - stop whining - get over it - it is called LIFE!!
