I used to have a lot of respect for the Zeal crew... But in light of seeing what is happening at the moment with the way they are carrying on. They are looking like clowns.
Im sorry but Im finding it hard to support you when you are destroying the image of a lot of other AirNZers that have worked hard to build up.
Not only that, but you are showing a total lack of respect towards all the other people in the company who are earning far less than you. Without the allowances.
Everyone is entitled to a pay rise, but you have picked the wrong time, and the wrong way to go about it.
