Doug, Well put!
Noone seems inclined to answer my query re. the contract that the `UK` AL pilots are on.
My understanding is that it is different to that of `mainline` AL.
Lord L, is this correct?

If so, why arent you all accusing them of being `low paid union busting scabs?`After all the AL union must have agreed the terms. Perhaps the mailine pilots in DUB all came out on strike and I missed it!!

Those guys who took jobs in Astraeus did so in good faith for their own sound reasons.
No doubt if NSF were in the situation of spending 2 months out of 3 away from his family for crap pay rather than work for Astraeus, he would tell them it was `for the greater good`! Well done! He already knows he`s a better man than me, because I know what I would have chosen!!
