Couple of mates just defered their start dates,they got the "We understand" sentiments from CX management.Later they discovered from whispers that management had considered them to have knocked back the job!
My mates respect pilots fighting for their rights,my mates have respected the ban but they have difficulty viewing CX pilots in honourable light.They can`t understand why CX pilots expect others to do the fighting for them-gave them a little lesson in British history.
