Superpilot, I fully agree with you. I am working for a company which has just started this Pay-As-You-Go-FO citing the current economic climate as the main reason for it (the need to generate extra revenue). An uproar ensued and this was promptly brought before the union (the collective pilot voice)..........all to no avail.
The only feasible way of stopping this is to go on strike, and we all know that if that happens, the company will go under.
What other options are there?
I do however know that the wheel-of-life turns.........
