The thing is, pilots are a notoriously easy bunch to divide and conquer. Offer one a few quid more and he'll take it. How many f/o hands went up when they were looking for someone to fill that guys seat.
Also, if
rumour has it right, theres 200+ pilots in MO'Ls holding pool of 'aerosexuals' as he called them, chomping at the bit to get in. And in 12m I might be one!
So how come you're rallying the Ryanair troops - from Florida?! Are you flying with FR?
It would take almost every pilot in FR to down tools, or simultaneously join BALPA, to suceed.
And there'll always be turncoats - how will you deal with them?!
And if I'd spent 70k-100k on training and was offered a job, I hate to admit it, but yeah, I'd have to take the job I'd have no choice.
