It is an interesting thread this. Basically you have a bunch of guys who are waiting to join with the hope of type ratings, jobs, career. etc. everyone can understand that. What is not so apparent to the newjoiners is what is actually at stake here. The prospects of you becoming a full time directly employed pilot with this company are almost zero. Sure you will fly their Planes and actually the money might look good, i don't know what the figures are but, the contract under which you will be working gives you NO INFLUENCE WHATSOEVER in what you will be paid. You will ALWAYS be just a temporary worker.
This situation has came about because AT NO POINT have the pilots of this company effectively decided EN MASS that the situation they find themselves in is unacceptable. Thoses who joined as cadets and have been with the company on Actual company contracts NOW KNOW this to be the case. I am ashamed to say that i have not taken a stance on these employment contracts before, bumbling along with the rest of them, accepting somewhat reluctantly what has been offered.
I don't think that inaction is an option.
