Hear Hear Krusty... Your words are spot on. From where I sit it seems that management can't look past their own hip pockets to see how stressful it is for the troops doing the work (or care). Try living in Sydney on and FO's wage. Try that for on stress. To know that the company is making real profits yet they are still trying to get away with not paying anymore doesn't do much for morale or retention. To continually hold off the negotiations on the EBA is purely stupid. I'm happy to fly a turboprop but why do it when it creates such stress outside of work!?
