@ speed alive
NO, get real buddy and stop smoking that stuff...
@ EAM actually we are trying to do exactly what you want!
1. best pay for best performance. we try to prevent that a LH plane is flagged to Italy for half of the salary paid on the mainline. I can assure you that a LH mainline CPT salary is not too much below your italian salaries.
So no erosion of salaries, not here, not in italy
2. we want to have the growth inhouse! There has been a constant reduction of medium range fleet. The only new planes came on longhaul. That means no new captain positions for the young guys. Our demand is to grow on hometurf. The new ERJ shall be flown under Mainline T&C. Instead of creating a company in Italy or even worse, buy Alitalia, get new planes for LH.
and everybody who fights to get better pay and tries to prevent beancounters innovative plans gets atleast my support...
