Just as it is the minority who can spoil things for the majority, so it is that some people on this thread also only want to focus on the same minority and ignore the majority. Smith - look in the car park of any workplace and you can see the same anomaly. U will also see plenty of crew getting of the bus from Glasgow outside terminal. Also there are plenty of crew who are on 10k, accept that a pay freeze in inevitable but longer down the line these new crew on new contracts will erode the work available to existing crew. Those longer serving crew living off a 60k basic may be quite happy sitting at home as the number of trips decrease whereas those on 10k rely on working trips with expenses to make their monthly mortgage payments - and pay for their bus fare to the airport rather than fill their bmw/merc with petrol.
Nobody likes the thought of strike action but more than ever there is a feeling that if my job is going to disappear any way what do i have to lose!
