Unbelievable!
Well the point that the Norman Stanley Fletcher is trying to get across is that those new low paid pilots are solely intended to be used as replacements for other decently paid pilots, so net job creation is zero and average pilot income goes down! If it is so, then the race to the bottom has hit the higher gear! And no one, not even mr. Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells has clearly said that NSF is lying, everyone just spouts about Eazyjet-this and Astraeus-that.
Real question here is: "Is the primary role of new Astraeus recruits to replace Aer Lingus pilots?" Let your answers be yea or nay and no more, please.
"Internal issue", thou sayst, Lord Lardy? I guess I must brush up my level 4 English, as the situation where one company hires other to score in a war on the employees doesn't fit my definition of "internal".
