5 years ago, the drivers in BlueStar threatened Eustache and the gang with mass walkout, and in future if they don't play ball, I want to see the same thing happening too...but they will

In a lot of us, there's this balance emerging between a fair wage for the job we do, and being fair to those who pay our salaries...we know the industry is in flux, in a state of disrepair, and we are pliable and understand what the beancounters need to achieve.

That said, fair working conditions, fair wage, fair promotion prospects are no different for us than other professionals.

Without mobilized representation, like any other worker group, we're open to exploitation...look at what O'Leary thinks of his pilots over at Ryanair, and the disdain Milton had when running AC. Having never worked at AC, it's only what I hear, but anyone who is a member of chevaliers du ciel is bound to be unbalanced
