Try opening your eyes and seeing the state of the industry! Makes as much sense as Vauxhall workers striking for more pay! Companies are hanging on watching any surpluses fast disappearing. Services are being withdrawn and consolidated. Good luck if you think IR will get you anywhere, but most airlines are at the stage of 'hanging onto current pay? That would be brilliant!' rather than 'more money/better TCs!'. Pay cuts are almost upon us, especially if we go into deflation.
