Dont agree with you on a lot of things, but I do agree with your assessment of EBA 8
What I find interesting is that 'the second officers champion', that idiot 'chuck' has been NOWHERE to be seen when S/O's were recently threatened with redundancy. I'll bet my left ball he didnt take a flexi line.
What a pack of hypocrites the whole anti EBA8 crowd is - the horse trainer, DD, the whole lot of them.
We are dead men walking now. All of us. As I said to a my F/O recently, its time to begin to prepare for your career after QF. Get qualifications outside of aviation, be aware of what required for contract jobs ect ect
