The funny thing is most pilot groups couldn't organise a pay rise during the boom (unlike every other sector
) now just you wait to see how quickly the pay cuts/leave with out pay/unplanned annual leave requests come up.
Forget the pay rises now boys cause the people that are paid the big bucks to plan for these eventualities in some companies seem to have been asleep at the wheel. Make hay while the sun shines I think the saying goes.
