Prawn,
Seen it all before. Until we get BALPA, all this idle chit chat and rumouring is fit for nothing!!!
I'm sure Winter off will suit some (whether that be 50%, 80% or whatever they decide to offer, it's coming). I wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise, and yes, it will probably only work for the better paid Pilot's (No F/O's then)!
It has been said non of this will be compulsary (to start with), more a voluntary option scheme!!!!!!
And, just for the record, my glass is ALWAYS half full.....(Ever the optomist)
I have a new pair of rose tinted glasses too
