Abusing the Sky, with all my respect, I really don't think you should be part of this discussion. We all know how CC gets abused in RYR and believe me they if anybody need to get unionised! So for you to join into this discussion sounds to me like a little strange, almost as if you had some good advice from your superiors... May I remind you of why a captain got dismissed recently? Tell me how that all started? Please assure me you do not hold any kind of managerial position within your base? We all know the scam behind the training companies and my personnal opinion is that there is a great level of abuse with contracts from management. Nobody wants to lose anything here, starting with their job and base, but look at your situation now, what makes you think that RYR would have a problem to close a base with or without balpa?
