you see al446,
this is what i find laughable..
i have posted several times various data pertaining to the specific issues that relate to the degradation of T&C's within the industry.
The result of this has not been any informed debate or discussion toward how these affect T&C's nor methods in which they could be addressed, instead it has been responded to by derision and ultimately 'table thumping' over BALPA being the saviour of the industry.
Any post that supports BALPA membership is met by you, being pro union, with applause and support, yet there is no discussion toward the actual issues that affect rising costs of aircraft operation, the continual demand for lower prices and the affect this has toward lower T&C's in the overall view.
Therefore, it can only be concluded by reasonable deduction that there is no interest in working toward a more stable and profitable industry, which will result in better T&C's, only that union membership is the only way in which the industry can be 'saved' and what campaign or issues the union puts forward, the timing or manner is irrelevant.
