Good luck with Jet 2, I hope thay you are successful with them.
I have to say I feel you are a little misguided in thinking that:-
(1) Philip Meeson will adhere to you requests of better T&cs once the
market picks up
(2) You will be able to achieve this single handedly.
I feel if you are not in a united union you will not have a leg to stand on. The only way to be effective is to have high membership and stand united. I am sorry to say you will still be a penny to the pound and PM will just show you the door!! Unfortunately, once these low conditions of pay are accepted there will be no going back to the good old days. When you compare PM with MOL of Ryanair its like comparing a **** with a turd!!!
My only advice would be to be party of a union as 300 people singing from the same hymn sheet is better than 1.
I do wish you luck and wish you best for the futurre.
