Interesting points.
i don’t see how the management can expect to be taken seriously when they're still trying to recruit hundreds of new FOs for all the new planes apparently coming, while threatening to fire people next winter because things are supposedly looking a bit tight.
i think trying to bully and corral the uk pilots will push them towards balpa, because being sent threatening memos every week is pretty rubbish - so keeping the status quo doesn’t seem to offer a long term solution.
